'Neath the cement stroll, catch the midnight drift
Cigar chewing Charlie in that newspaper nest
grifting hot horse tips on who's running the best
And I'm blinded by the neon, don't try and change my tune
'Cause I thought I heard a saxophone, I'm drunk on a yellow moon
And the moon's a silver slipper, it's pouring champagne stars
Broadway's like a serpent pulling shiny top-down cars
Laramer is teeming with that undulating beat
And some Bonneville is screaming "t's way wilder down the street"
And I'm blinded by the neon, don't try and change my tune
'Cause I thought I heard a saxophone, I'm drunk on a yellow moon
Hearts flutter and race, the moon's on the wane
Tarts mutter their dream hopes the night will ordain
Come schemers and dancers, cherry delight
As a Cleveland-bound Greyhound and it cuts through the night
And I've hawked all my yesterdays, don't try and change my tune
'Cause I thought I heard a saxophone, I'm drunk on a yellow moon
Thought this sounded like a Tom Waits song before I Googled it.
stupidmop wrote:Most Definitely nothing to do with this song but there's an improv from Nuremberg 00 (I think) about the moon that I've always dug
Take a ladder up to my room
Take the ladder up to the moon
I am a light reflected off of the moon to you
So faraway, running out of room
Running out of time Meet me on the moon....on the moon
We´ll have it all ourselves
We´ll keep it,and no one could tell
All our searching.... Sharing a kiss on the moon
The german sky...don´t ask me why
It´s ten o´clock and my only thought is of you and the moon.
And the moon It´s ten...
I´ll share a kiss with you on the moon.
That's an awesome improve...great call. Love that.

Na it doesn't. It's more subtle than that. Ed would've called it "The Yellow Moon Cries for You, Dear".
its like harvest moon but its called yellow moon. Ed plays acoustic guitar and the band does nothing.
He also plays harmonica and banjo.
lyrics:
ohh eeee yellow moon
eee such a beautiful moon
ohh mmmm its yellow
ee oooo its you
Yeah I've just this second thought of the possible Harvest Moon connection.

That's Lightning Bolt.
If my theory's correct, Yellow Moon should be this album's Speed of Sound.

Yup, really impressive so far.
They are changing the titles gang, cmon. Yellow Moon is a desperate proof.
Yellow Moon is a fine title. Look at how cool In The Moonlight was.

I kind of hate it when the titles scan the same: 'Yellow Moon', 'Future Days', 'Lightning Bolt' etc.

There's nothing embarrassing title-wise, yet. Lightning Bolt has grown on me as I've seen the concept and art direction unfold. I like the title Future Days, I just think the song isn't great.
