Underwater Moonlight (The Soft Boys)

He was white and she was white As only statues are Fifty years they stood there looking Stupid by a jar One night in mid August when the moonlight got too strong They climbed off their pedestal and then they sang this song Past the gun emplacement and the Bones as white as bleach Through the rats and ivy til' they Came out on a beach Out into the ocean til' they disappeared from view Honey when it gets you there's just nothing you can do. Underwater moonlight, sets the body free Underwater moonlight, baby you and me Underwater moonlight, underwater moonlight He was pink and she was pink And onward they did row Didn't see the giant squid, though It was fairly slow When they hit the bottom they were well and truly dead The statues took their place, and then they rode back home instead Underwater moonlight Take your baby down Underwater moonlight Watch your baby drown With love And in the moonlight Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight Sets the body free Underwater moonlight Baby you and me Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight
