Lyrics & Translation
"Let me in," he answered no!
And the moon knocked where there was silence
But a loud voice said
"It's not the time anymore"
So he threw open the windows to the wind
And went off to look a little further
For something to do
After crying a little
For another no, for another no
That the sea told her, that the sea told her
And the moon knocked on two sunglasses
That look didn’t notice her
And so she tried a party at the pool
Without an invite, even the moon can’t get in
So she rolled over champagne and caviar and left
To find something to do a little further on
After crying a little for another no,
For another no from a waiter
And then almost by chance
Moved closer to the sidewalks
Where what you see is real
And then she went down without knocking
Between a child's lashes
To fall asleep
And then down among rags and love
Where luck is a luxury
Where you need the moon
And then down, down, down—uh-uh
(Uh uh uh uh uh uh)
And then down
Almost by chance
Closer to the sidewalks
Where what you see is real
Between a child's lashes
To fall asleep
You need the moon
Down, down, down...
