Moonstruck from Pratfall by Jackie Cohen

you must have a lot of time on your hands
if you’re hangin’ out with me at my wit’s end
i know the Tristan/ Isolde thing is gettin’ real tirin’ (uh-huh)
but if you got nowhere better to be
i’d be delighted
O i’d be delighted

you must be a new american man (oh)
if you’re takin’ more than you give & you still can’t stand (oh)
well, i’ve had some trouble stickin’ my landin’ (uh-huh)
so if you need someone to understand you
i understand
O i understand

get the knife
get the knife
get the big knife
get the knife
get the knife
get the big knife

we have had our own tough times & i get that (oh, i do)
long nights screamin’ our heads off
turnin’ our sails black (turn back to you)
maybe i’m just moonstruck & thinkin’ short-sighted
but if you feel like pushing our luck

get the knife
get the knife
get the big knife
get the the knife
get the knife
get the big knife

(a comet arrives)

(& i survived)

(but you died)
