The Microphones - The Moon

[Verse 1]
I drove up to the city at night
And found the place where you grew up
And then where you stayed
And then we walked around and stayed up late
Under city lights; and I spent the night
Next to you in the house where you grew up
Next to you, I miraculously woke up
In your parents' house I lied in bed with you

[Chorus]
I went back to feel alone there
I went back to wipe it clean
I took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams

[Verse 2]
And we went all the way up to the small town where I'm from
With foggy air and the wind and the mountain tops
And we clung to rocks and we looked off
You held my hand, you almost got to start feeling me
I finally felt like I was breathing free
And under swaying trees, we fell asleep and had the same dream
The stars were bright, we dream the same every night
On my island home I spent some time with you

[Chorus]
I went back to feel alone there
I went back there by myself
And gave up on everything that we'd felt

“The Moon“, the third song from The Glow Pt. 2, sees Phil trying to erase memories of his failed relationship by returning to the places they went, but this time all alone. The attempt fails, as the story continues in “Moon Sequel” from Dawn. The song was released as a 7'‘ single in 2001, which is today a rarity.
