Shot in the back, cut me some slack,
Been dressed in black since the sun
Pressed its neck on my specks,
Couldn't see, hard to breathe,
Slipped and fell broke my feet.
Can't walk anymore,
The tightrope's too far,
Saw the moon in a bar,
The light burned my scar,
Embedded in my arm,
False alarm, false alarm,
I can't do no harm.
Can't talk anymore,
My vocal chords strained
I'm gonna go insane,
I'm a duck gone lame,
I'm a pigeon in the rain
Watch me flutter in a craze,
I'm in a daze, in a daze.
Can't walk anymore,
The tightrope's too far,
Saw the moon in a bar,
The light burned my scar,
Embedded in my arm,
False alarm, false alarm,
I can't do no harm.
Can't carry my weight
A dagger pushed in by fate
Through my carotid, as of late
I've been trying to perceive
Why the moon's so close
To the earth, my mind's been blown.
Can't walk anymore,
The tightrope's too far,
Saw the moon in a bar,
The light burned my scar,
Embedded in my arm,
False alarm, false alarm,
I can't do no harm.
I'm a trapeze artist
On the edge of the world
As the moon comes in
And its beams shine so bright,
I feel blinded, but alright,
Couldn't see all last night,
Now I'm caught in a fight
With fate and my rights.
Can't walk anymore,
The tightrope's too far,
Saw the moon in a bar,
The light burned my scar,
Embedded in my arm,
False alarm, false alarm,
I can't do no harm.
Can't walk anymore,

False alarm, false alarm,

No I can't do no harm,
Karma's gone and killed me,
I'm still here, I'm still breathing
But I might as well be sleeping
All the time, every night,
It's the moonlight that can't quite
Shut my eyes, shut my eyes,
I'd like to say... Good night.
