Step out onto your balcony At night and watch your city glow Listen to the sounds of dogs going off Try to sleep by the light of the moon Sleep by the light of the moon The battle that's fought between women and men Who pretend that they try to be true Is a battle that's lost, and pain is the cost Sleep by the light of the moon Sleep by the light of the moon Woh-oh-oh Woh-oh-oh, sleep by the light of the moon Pretty young girls touch the back of my neck And say: Baby, can I come home with you? I tell ‘em: Little sister, I'm already in love And I can sleep by the light of the moon Most of my friends are like Indians Shooting arrows straight up into the blue That may not make ‘em right But it makes ‘em feel like They can sleep by the light of the moon Sleep by the light of the moon Woh-oh-oh Woh-oh-oh, sleep by the light of the moon Sleep by the light of the moon
