Tell The Sun to Lay Low John Margolis, Don Rosler

 
madam, I've come all this way to see you
cause you're known for your mystical powers
they say that mother nature speaks to you
is that true? is that true?
 
I pleaded with that moon to help me out
but it moves indifferently across the sky
now I feel desperate, gotta try something new
cause I can't lose this night
so for only this night
 
 
         can you tell the sun to lay low
         lay low, lay low (behind my horizon)
         tell the sun to lay low, lay low
         (let the moon take over)
         lay low, lay low, lay low 
 
 
you say my palm reveals a straight and narrow line
but there’s a point where it takes a deep curve
now she's come back, and I don’t know why
but it’s just for one night
then she's back to her life
 
 
         (chorus)
 
 
you must implore the God of second chances!
you must entice him and enlist him right away
invoke that moon with potions and with dances
just this once, come on now, just this once
 
can you undo the rules of constant motion
and release the ball and chain of gravity
to which this planet goes round in circles with devotion
tonight we’ll break free
and she will stay with me
 
         we’re gonna…
 
                  (chorus)
