1st Verse:
you were white moth-petal
scorned and sweet
wrapped in silk and net
baby blue eyes
a drunkard's smile
a sigh, a slow song and sex
your breath was still warm
and your eyes were soft
as the moon shined brilliantly
the taste of your blood

and the blue from your eyes
kissed me so slow
and gently

Chorus:
well, the clock struck two
and the mexican moon
and the stars
they fell away
I just stood there laughing

with my heart in my hand
I didn't know what to say
well, I could sing you
something black and blue
but I can't bring you back to me
you belonged to someone
now he's lonely
just like me

2nd Verse:
the night was cool
and the mexican moon
lay shining in the sky
it was easy on my eyes
and soothed my mind
as hammers
fell out of the night
I last saw you
as white as wine
soaking in satin sheets
making pretty noises
to all the boys
who pleased you eagerly
