Sister Moon by The Magpie Salute Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take what you need
Take whatever it is you wish to keep
It will last like the fire of the sun
Pretending these visions are the only ones
The lonely ones remain
And its work is not done
The cage is corroding, the mind is exploding

[Chorus]
Hold yourself up, hang your head high
Out in the distance an orange sky
Sister Moon, you came too soon
Is it true all those things they said, they said
About you

[Verse 2]
Reality bends
In one endless moment, this desert lover
Was headed back home again
You and I all alone
A gun by your bed and a spy on the phone
You were all dressed in black
When you kissed my mouth and smiled
With the roof tipped back
[Chorus]
Hold yourself up, hang your head high
Out in the distance an orange sky
Sister Moon, you came too soon
Is it true all those things they said, they said
About you

(Said about you)

[Verse 3]
Black widow, a Scorpio
I leave you behind
But somehow you bind me
With seven fresh bowstrings
They will snap in the heat
While he waits in your chamber
Guess you didn't so much as cheat
As do me a favor
Thought that I'd savor
