Week 37 Pink Moon Lunar Madness Overcomes Old Man

Pink Moon Lunar Madness Overcomes Old Man

The lunatic light of the pink full moon
Shinned on a lonely man in the cosmos bar
Who was a lost film star
Drinking from afar
The lunatic light of the pink full moon



The man was a star
The light in the bar was bizarre
They sat there playing the guitar
The lunatic light of the full moon

He thought to himself so far
Went outside, saw a squad car
Howling at the moon looking at a sports car
The lunatic light of the pink full moon
