Body lines fluid in static heat 
Thoughts buzzing like flies around meat 
land here -- land there -- 
Quick circles in the air 
I'm riding smooth but just a little slow 
Waiting for the moon to show 

Leather-faced old men by the cafe wall 
Kids in the surf splashing with a soccer ball 
I gaze through curved lens 
Trying to identify the sky's end 
Little spots on the horizon into gunboats grow 
Waiting for the moon to show 

Might be a party -- might be a war 
When those faceless sailors come ashore 
Speculation is a waste of time 
You want to go have a glass of wine? 
Whatever's coming, there's no place else to go 
Waiting for the moon to show
