  • 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
