Moon Man (i'm Waiting On You) Lyrics - 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
