Grapefruit moon, one star shining, shining down on me
Heard that tune, and now I'm pining, honey, can't you see?
'Cause every time I hear that melody, something breaks inside
The grapefruit moon, one star shining, can't turn back the tide
I never had a destination I could not get across
You became my inspiration, ah, but what a cost
'Cause every time I hear that melody, something breaks inside
The grapefruit moon, one star shining, is more than I can hide
Now I'm smoking cigarettes and I strive for purity
Then I slip just like the stars into obscurity
Every time I hear that old melody, it puts me up a tree
The grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see
Grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see
That grapefruit moon
Yeah
