[Verse 1] In a furnace heart of starfire you took the little paper square Now your shadow bends like mercury dripping on the stair You blinked once and split the night open like a peach under a knife Then you laughed in a silver thunder and chased the edge of life [Pre-Chorus] Moon man in a white silk helmet gliding low through the blue fog You were hot enough to melt a rumor hot enough to burn the fog [Chorus] Chase the moon man, chase him down (Chase him down) Moon man running from your crown (From your crown) Venus calling, velvet flame (velvet flame) Neutron star, say his name (Say his name) Chase the moon man, chase the moon (Chase the moon) Turn the dark into a tune (into a tune) Venus opens, wide and slow (wide and slow) And you follow where the wild things glow [Verse 2] Past the rings of broken daylight through a garden made of dust You rode a beam of purple sugar through the rust and through the gust His boots left pearls on the void road his pockets full of static rain You caught the scent of copper peaches and forgot your own name again [Pre-Chorus] Moon man in a white silk helmet looking back with glassy eyes You were spinning all the old laws into humming dragonflies [Chorus] Chase the moon man, chase him down (Chase him down) Moon man running from your crown (From your crown) Venus calling, velvet flame (velvet flame) Neutron star, say his name (Say his name) Chase the moon man, chase the moon (Chase the moon) Turn the dark into a tune (into a tune) Venus opens, wide and slow (wide and slow) And you follow where the wild things glow [Bridge] On Venus, the roses are mirrors and the mirrors all know your face He turned to smoke in the heat bloom left a halo in his place You bowed to the hush in the crater you kissed the ash like gold Then the whole sky folded backward and your story got retold [Chorus] Chase the moon man, chase him down (Chase him down) Moon man running from your crown (From your crown) Venus calling, velvet flame (velvet flame) Neutron star, say his name (Say his name) Chase the moon man, chase the moon (Chase the moon) Turn the dark into a tune (into a tune) Venus opens, wide and slow (wide and slow) And you follow where the wild things glow [Outro] Little star, keep moving (little star) Through the peach-glow night Through the peach-glow night Moon man, moon man Venus burning bright
