Grapefruit moon   One star shining   Shining down on me   I heard that tune and now I'm pining   Honey, can't you see   Every time I hear that melody   Something breaks inside   And the grapefruit moon   One star shining   Can't turn back the tide       Never had no destination   Could not get across   And you became my inspiration   Oh, but what a cost   Every time I hear that melody   Something breaks inside   And the grapefruit moon   One star shining   Is more than I can hide       Now I'm smoking cigarettes    And I strive for purity   And I slip just like the stars    Into obscurity   Every time I hear that melody   Puts me up a tree   And the grapefruit moon   One star shining   Is all that I can see
