Met a cowgirl high on comet dust Said “Trust nobody — but trust your rust.” Her lipstick tasted like meteor wine She two-stepped backwards through space and time We slow-danced under a solar flare Her hair smelled like vacuum air She whispered, “Earth’s just a borrowed room.” Then she vanished in a crescent bloom ⸻ Pre-Chorus My heart beat Morse code in the Milky Way Telegraphin’ what I couldn’t say Aliens tuned up a steel guitar Played Hank Williams on a dying star ⸻ Chorus 🌕 I’m dancin’ on the bright side of the moon Where the jukebox floats in a zero-G saloon Galactic gamblers bettin’ balloons Shootin’ pool with a harpoon I’m higher than an android afternoon Buzzin’ like a blacklight room If you need me, I’ll be there soon On the bright side of the moon ⸻ Bridge (Total Word-Salad Breakdown) Spurs sparkin’ constellations Fried chicken consternations Banjo made of radiation Cosmic gravy meditation Rattlesnake revelation Outlaw levitation Neptune gas-station conversation Hallelujah transportation My hat brim caught a supernova Poured it in my coffee thermos Drank it black like midnight karma Pipe rider in lunar pajamas ⸻ Final Chorus (Bigger / Southern Rock Lift-Off) 🌕 I’m ridin’ on the bright side of the moon With a full tank of psychedelic June Engine runnin’ on a cosmic rune Howlin’ at a chrome-plated moon Higher than an android afternoon Spillin’ truth from a broken tune If love lives past the last saloon I’ll find it on the bright side of the moon ⸻ Outro (Spoken, gravelly): “Well boys… Turns out the dark side ain’t so dark. You just gotta ride long enough To find the bright.” Steel guitar bends into infinity… 🌌
