Diamond drops shoot through the air
with each whirring pass
and leap for the lawn that'll soon be gone
Replaced by glued-in grass

Take a walk real late at night
When everybody is asleep
Can you see how sad it is?
Can you see how bad it is?

Signs look silly when nobody reads 'em
Traffic lights change and nobody's
there to see 'em
Put a billboard on the moon
I'll be there soon

Streetlights line the streets and shine
A purple eerie noon
for the criminals and the cops
who always gotta stop
and ask ya 'bout what you're doin'

Ya float somewhere above your hat
Tied like a balloon
Ya see your reflection
and ya just gotta laugh
Ya know that isn't you

Take a walk real late at night
When everybody is asleep
Can you see how sad it is?
Can you see how bad it is?

Signs look silly when nobody reads 'em
Traffic lights change and nobody's
there to see 'em
Put a billboard on the moon
I'll be there soon

I know a painter who paints in blood
In an empty room
He'll soon be dead from the colors
that he's bled
To paint a billboard for the moon

Take a walk real late at night
When everybody is asleep
Can you see how sad it is?
Can you see how bad it is?

Signs look silly when nobody reads 'em
Traffic lights change and nobody's
there to see 'em
Put a billboard on the moon
I'll be there soon
