Album: Miscelaneous T (Ep)
Intro: E B A B E B A B E B A B E B A B E
Verse 1:
E
Fell in the door
B
And you fell on the floor
A
With your hand on the knob
A
Looking up and abruptly
E
Forget what you're thinking
B A
Fire alarms go off in your head you live
Chorus:
B E B A
In the nightgown of the sullen moon
E B A
How the windows lean into the room
B E B A
In the nightgown of the sullen moon
Fill:
B A A E A E
Drug trip. it's not a drug trip so you feel a bit insulted
A A E A A E
Space walk. It's like a space walk with the corresponding weight loss
Verse 2:
And you're nothing but air, with your hand in the air
And your shoelaces tied up together with care
There's a feeling of boredom, of the big whoredom
Following dressing up
Chorus:
In the nightgown of the sullen moon
How the windows lean into the room
In the nightgown of the sullen moon
Chorus:
In the nightgown of the sullen moon
How the windows lean into the room
In the nightgown of the sullen moon
Outro:
Your head is on the moon
It's not necessary to breathe
Forever is a long time
Your head is on the moon
It's not necessary to breathe
Forever is a long time
Your head is on the moon
Your head is on the moon

| I don't know what this means. Personally, I think it might be following in the vein of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, except TMBG is basing it off what they heard it is like, not on personal experience. I doubt they have it anyway. | |

| i always thought "of the big whoredom" was "utter decorum". dissapointed its not, as i loved that line "theres a feeling of boredom, utter decorum" oh well, guess it didn't make much sense anyway. | |

| I would like to think of it as a dream. Anyone of these things can happen in a dream. So, Yep. | |

| Whatever it's untimately about, it's not a drug trip iself. As the lyrics state, it's something that is being compared to a drug trip. | |
