Grapefruit moon, one star shining

Shining down on me

I heard that tune and now I'm pining

Honey, can't you see?

Every time I hear that melody

Something breaks inside

And the grapefruit moon, one star shining

Can't turn back the tide

Never had a destination

Could not get across

And you became my inspiration

Oh, but what a cost

Every time I hear that melody

Something breaks inside

And the grapefruit moon, one star shining

It's more than I can hide

Now I'm smoking

Cigarettes and strive for purity

And I'll slip

Just like the stars into obscurity

Every time I hear that melody

It puts me up a tree

And the grapefruit moon, one star shining

Is all that I can see
