Chinese Sword

[Verse 1]
Green like a pear
Jumped off the hospital bed
You brought me sweets
And the grossest of cactuses
Hand on the pulse you stamped the ants that were
Marching in rows to lay eggs in my hair

[Chorus]
And the cruel moon it hung low
Moon it hung low
With it's arc bent like a sword
A chinese sword

[Verse 2]
In the back of my brain
A glimmer of hope was itching
Like toes of a leg that got amputated
Greenish white, my face like a canvas
Where end credits roll from my foreheads to chin
Stay in your seats
And watch the end credits roll from the foreheads to chin

[Chorus]
And the cruel moon it hung low
Moon it hung low
With it's arc bent like a sword
A chinese sword

[Post-Chorus]
It felt no compassion
It felt no remorse
Chopping our heads right off
The cruel moon it hung low
The moon it hung low

[Bridge]
Oh, we cried like there was another
Fate in store where we hold each other
In a jet plane circling the earth to
Keep the night from catching us again

[Chorus]
And the cruel moon it hung low
Moon it hung low
With it's arc bent like a sword
A chinese sword

[Post-Chorus]
It felt no compassion
It felt no remorse
Chopping our heads right off
The cruel moon it hung low
The moon it hung low
Sharp like a chinese sword
