Not Dead Luna

I swallowed hydrochloric acid, even cut my jugular vein
but I didn’t die, no, I didn’t die

The moonlight shines so bright it’s dazzling

I leapt from the 5th floor, ignored all the traffic lights
and yet I didn’t die, no, I didn’t die

The moon at night is crystal clear, sparkles the color of water

And then, suddenly, I fell in love, like in a dream
Our love for one another was intense, and I was happy
But before long I was alone once again, staring up at the sky
and I could see the moon shining as though it were my life

I’m broken-hearted and in utter despair
but I’m not going to die, no, I’m not going to die

The moonlight shines so bright it’s dazzling

Since then, I’ve worked a lot more, like in a dream
The effort I’ve put in has been intense, and I’ve made a lot of money
And even if, before long, I lose it, well, everyone’s lost something

The moon’s precious light shines as though it were my life
