The Handsome Family - The Sad Milkman lyrics

Above the dark highway, on a black tar roof Stood the sad milkman in love with the moon She filled up his window with soft milky light So he climbed up the chimney and into the night But the moon, she rises And the moon, she falls And her slow white eye Sees nothing at all Down on the sidewalk, a crowd gathered 'round Throwing up bricks and bottles to knock the boy down He stood up above them with his hands in the air Crying up to the moonbeams, come let down your hair But the moon, she rises And the moon, she falls And her slow white eye Sees nothing at all He wanted to feel like a bucket of milk Or sweet summer wind on rolling green hills He wanted to fly up from the roof Up through the night wind to the arms of the moon But the moon, she rises And the moon, she falls And her slow white eye Sees nothing at all But the moon, she rises And the moon, she falls And her slow white eye Sees nothing at all
