Rainmakers Hunger Moon
(S. Phillips, P. Tomek) Hunger moon shining on a field of snow There's ice above but a fire down below Out of the north a cold wind moans And I'm empty oh so empty Now there's a fat sacrifice on the alter tonight A pile of money and an alibi so tight White-haired regrets a little child's dreams All lost in the snow on a big TV screen Never too young too rich or never too thin Never too hopeless the state I'm in Lost like the billions too dry to cry Caught by the camera in history's eye Hunger moon shining on a field of snow Ice up above and a fire down below I want to leave but I just don't know I'm so empty, oh so empty Down in the dark we rattle our cages Moldy basement the book's rotting pages We're free to go but we can't see the stars Blinded by the scars where Venus crossed Mars Can you feel it it's in the cold wind Like an ocean that we all swim in It's frightening and new it seems so strange You can taste it it feels like change Hunger moon shining on a field of snow Cracks in the ice let the light show She says I'll die if I don't grow But I'm empty, I'm still empty
