[Verse 1]
Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny
I said it again
Could I please rephrase it
Maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer
But I'll wait till you decide
Send me your warning siren
As if I could ever hide
Last time La Luna
[Chorus]
I light my torch and wave it for the
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
[Verse 2]
Breaking away with the best of both worlds
A smile that you can't disguise
Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind
Save me from these reminders
As if I'd forget tonight
This time La Luna
[Chorus]
I light my torch and wave it for the
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
I light my torch and wave it for the
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night (Fire dance through the night...)
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite (I light my torch and wave it for the...)
Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny

But I'll wait till you decide

[Chorus]

And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night (Fire dance through the night...)
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite (I light my torch and wave it for the...)
