Moon Baby

Godsmack · Live & Inspired [2012]

(spoken)



Moonlight is thought to transform some people into strange creatures

And to drive others mad.

Does the moon actually possess such strange powers?

Or is it all just... lunacy?



Let's take a blast to the moon baby

(I sit around wishing you will)

How i'm craving you

(yeah)

Every time i'm near you

(I always wanna swallow you down)

I'll be right here if you need me



In my life, I'll need you here

Don't ask why, i'll never disappear

Why is it everyday that I feel the pain?

Ah yeah



Let's take a trip to the stars far away

(Where were you when I was down?)

Staring into the dead

(dead)



My pain is caused by my pleasure

(And my soulmate lives in your body)

I can't get you out of my head

It never goes away



In my life, I'll need you here,

Don't ask why, i'll never disappear

In your eyes you can bid me farewell

Don't ever try to understand the situation

Why is it everyday that I feel the pain?



(It always comes when I least expect it

When i'm looking for love,

I seem to be regretting it)



Why is it everyday that I feel the pain?

Ah yeah, yeah



[spoken]

I had nothing to do with this

Tolerance, tolerance for pain

And we can't have weakness



(no, I can't stop)



I had nothing to do with this

I had nothing to do with this

I had nothing to do with this

I had nothing to do with this



And we can't have weakness

And we can't have weakness



Tolerance, tolerance for pain

Tolerance, tolerance for pain



Tolerance for pain

Tolerance for pain
