Moon Man (I'm Waiting on You) - Steve Forbert

Can anybody hear me?

Is there anybody there?

Is anybody listening?

Is there anyone that cares?

I’ve been so long in silence

I’m not sure if you exist

You may have sent some signals

But I don’t know what I’ve missed

'Cause I’m your own mad man in the moon

I’ve been alone so long I’m a loon

Up in an all night cable cartoon

So call, fax, email

Call, fax, email soon

I’m waiting on you…

The place I’m lookin' out from

Can’t be reached from you by plane

I ain’t got lakes and oceans

'Cause I don’t have any rain

But all my days are damp

Because I tend to cry so hard

For one gone Earthling girl

That’d kiss a face this pocked and scarred…

I am your own mad man in the moon

I’ve been alone so long I’m a loon

Up in an allnight cable cartoon

So call, fax, email

Call, fax, email soon

I’m waiting on you

I’m waiting on you

I’m waiting on you

I’m waiting on you

And if I gave you my green cheese smile

Would I frighten the fair haired child?

I’m a myth and a folklore tale

But I’m also a plain, straight male…

If you’d like confirmation

I’ll be glad to cross the sky

'Cause I need inspiration

And a real good contact high

I know I’d love to love you

If you ain’t afraid to fly

My 1800's open, baby

I’ll be standing by

'Cause I’m your own mad man in the moon

I’ve been alone so long I’m a loon

Up in an all night cable cartoon

So call, fax, email

Call, fax, email soon

I’m waiting on you

I’m waiting on you

I’m waiting on you

I’m waiting on you
