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 a 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   It's more than I can hide      Now I'm smoking   Cigarettes and strive for purity   And I'll slip   Just like the stars into obscurity      Every time I hear that melody   It puts me up a tree   And the grapefruit moon, one star shining   Is all that I can see
