Moon Man (I'm Waiting On You)

Steve Forbert

Can anybody hear me?
Is there anybody there?
Is anybody listening?
Is there anyone that cares?
I've been so long in silence
I'm not sure if you exist,
You may have sent some signals,
But I don't know what I've missed

'Cause I'm your own mad man in the moon,
I've been alone so long I'm a loon
Up in an all night cable cartoon,
So call, fax, email
Call, fax, email soon.

I'm waiting on you...
The place I'm lookin' out from
Can't be reached from you by plane,
I ain't got lakes and oceans
'Cause I don't have any rain,
But all my days are damp
Because I tend to cry so hard
For one gone Earthling girl
That'd kiss a face this pocked and scarred...
I am your own mad man in the moon,
I've been alone so long I'm a loon
Up in an allnight cable cartoon,
So call, fax, email
Call, fax, email soon.
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you



And if I gave you my green cheese smile,
Would I frighten the fair haired child?
I'm a myth and a folklore tale,
But I'm also a plain, straight male...
If you'd like confirmation
I'll be glad to cross the sky
'Cause I need inspiration
And a real good contact high,
I know I'd love to love you
If you ain't afraid to fly,
My 1800's open, baby,
I'll be standing by
'Cause I'm your own mad man in the moon,
I've been alone so long I'm a loon
Up in an all night cable cartoon,
So call, fax, email
Call, fax, email soon.
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
