Track Insight / Lyrics
Through motel verandas, it drifts and flits
Seeking refuge from the arid bits
Of Santa Fe's chill and moonlit streets
Where neon signs cast eerie, glowing feats
Reflecting pools of glass, ablaze
In city neon's distant haze
Some light may guide the moth on its quest
But darkness holds the desert's best
Oh, moonlit moth, with wings of pale
In Santa Fe's neon-lit veil
You flutter, searching, seeking rest
Under starry desert skies' crest
Through parking lot gravel and peeling paint
It flutters, drawn to cover's faint
A refuge from the shifting sands and bright
Of cacti worlds where predators claim their right
Reflecting pools of glass, ablaze
In city neon's distant haze
Some light may guide the moth on its quest
But darkness holds the desert's best
Oh, moonlit moth, with wings of pale
In Santa Fe's neon-lit veil
You flutter, searching, seeking rest
Under starry desert skies' crest
The motel's door, a wide, inviting mouth
Cracks open, oddly, to the moth
A place to hide, to wait for dawn
Escaping night's uncertain, gnashingawns
There, in the corner, worn and gray
The moth alights, a moment's stay
Safe from the starlit desert's amble
In the motel room's warm, dim table
But dawn's first light, a creeping glow
Will chase this refuge, make it go
The moth takes flight, its journey renewed
Through neon shadows, starting anew
Oh, moonlit moth, with wings of pale
In Santa Fe's neon-lit veil
You flutter, searching, seeking rest
Under starry desert skies' crest
Through motel doors, it slowly vanishes
Into the dawn, where shadows whims
The moonlit moth, a desert's hue
Disappears, leaving only a few ...
