License This Song 

• Moonlight is thought to transform some people into strange creatures to drive others mad
  Hola, soy Fernando Allende
  One small step for man, giant leap for man-
  Does the moon actually possess such strange powers?
  Or is it all just lunacy?
  
  Let's take a blast to the moon, baby
  (I sit around wishing you well)
  How I'm craving you (yeah)
  Every time I'm near you
  (I always wanna swallow you down)
  I'll be right here if you need me
  
  In my life, I'll need you here
  Don't ask why I'll never disappear
  Why is it every day that I feel the pain?
  Ah, yeah
  
  Let's take a trip to the stars far away
  (Where were you when I was down?)
  Staring into the dead (dead)
  My pain is caused by my pleasure
  (And my soul mate lives in your body)
  I can't get you out of my head
  It never goes away
  
  In my life, I'll need you here
  Don't ask why I'll never disappear
  In your eyes, you can bid me farewell
  Don't ever try to understand my situation
  Why is it every day that I feel the pain?
  (It always comes when I least expect it
  When I'm looking for love
  Always seem to be regretting it)
  Why is it every day that I feel the pain?
  Ah, yeah, yeah
  
  No, don't be scared
  
  Don't be sad that I feel this way
  I'd rather just keep making the same fucking mistakes
  Over and over and over again
  Please, can't this fucking mistake be over? Writer/s: Salvatore P. Erna
