It’s late again
And the stars come out
And the sky’s light dims
As the sun burns out

But the city lights
They’re always on
Casino open
Say signs of neon

This city life is all too much
He’s lost his job,  he’s lost his touch
His marriage is failing
He’s took to the bottle
He’s pressed down to hard
On his body’s throttle

He’s lost his most beloved things
His wife has gone from under his wing
And all because of his gambling
Betting his life on some cards just to win

He can’t pay the debts
His life is a wreck
He lost all his money
On the flip of a deck

But he lost much more
The girl he adores
She packed up her bags
And walked right through his door

This city life is all too much
He’s lost his job,  he’s lost his touch
His marriage is failing
He’s took to the bottle
He’s pressed down to hard
On his body’s throttle

She would have given him a chance
But he’ll never know what he did to her
Could you imagine explaining to the kid
How he can’t have any dinner

Well she had to find a way
Her son’s the priority
And that’s why she left
Leaving behind the key


This city life is all too much
He lost his job,  he lost his touch
His marriage has failed
He took to the bottle
He pressed down to hard
On his body’s throttle


This city life is all too much
He lost his job,  he lost his touch
His marriage has failed
He took to the bottle
He pressed down to hard
On his body’s throttle

Learn from his mistakes
Never ever raise the stakes

Broken nail
Tears flow

Can’t you see
You’re living a lie
Damn ugly

You’re sitting there your eyes sparkling
Gentle hands brush through the dark waves of your hair
And I know that this is the best time to declare
That “yes,“ I really do care

We’re sitting here under the stars
The Man in the moon watching all of our moves
And as I play a song for you, I hope he approves
There’s more to this love than just a night in the groove

And as the waves surround us tonight
Is there any need to put up our walls and fight
As they sweep our feelings for each other away
They carry them along to another distant bay

As the raindrops fall from the clouds to the ground
He’s sitting there embraced in the thought of her mouth and it’s calming sound
Why did she have to do this to him
He didn’t deserve this, he’s given her everything

And as the waves surround us tonight
Is there any need to put up our walls and fight
As they sweep our feelings for each other away
They carry them along to another distant bay

But the Man in the moon
No, he’ll never understand
He’ll never get to know what love is like
When it’s unplanned
He’ll never get to feel a girl he adores
In his hands
No, the Man in the moon
He will never understand
