Lyrics:

Grapefruit moon, one star shining, shining down on me
Heard that tune, now I'm pining, honey, can't you see?
'Cause 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 destinations, could not get across
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
And every time I hear that melody, puts me up a tree
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see
