Blood Red Moon

VERSE 1

It’s 4 am and I haven’t slept well,

A dream reoccurs,

Like I’m under a spell:

My woman and I are making love,

While a full moon shines, up above.

Smiling she speaks, of her ovulation,

As our bodies are covered in sweat.

Then together we peak, oh what elation,

But I haven’t reached the best part yet.

As I hold her tight,

After ecstasy,

But before we begin to swoon.

I receive my sight,

Yeah, the prophecy,

As we look up at a blood red moon.

CHORUS

Blood red moon,

Comin’ soon.

Blood red moon,

Comin’ soon.

See the light,

And believe.

Time is right,

To conceive,

Under a blood red moon.

VERSE 2

So heed this call if you’d rather bring up,

A child who could be,

An Athena or Zeus.

Join a party as big as the World(*) Cup.

Surely you don’t need an excuse.

When you’re on board to join this clairvoyant,

Light some candles to achieve the right mood.

Don’t you forget to burn incense that’s fragrant.

It’s a must when you eat spicy food.

When the moon’s blood red,

And your hips are bumpin’,

You don’t have to put on this tune.

I’d have songs instead,

With a bass that’s thumpin’,

On your playlist for a blood red moon.       [Note:  Crescendo the thumpin' bass]

CHORUS    [Note:  Continue the thumpin' bass]

Blood red moon,

Comin’ soon.

Blood red moon,

Comin’ soon.

See the light,

And believe.

Time is right,

To conceive,

Under a blood red moon.

BRIDGE #1

It's been six years since our blood moon bliss.

With that prophecy,

There was no way to miss.

Boy or girl, we knew it would be a peach.

Then the Lord gave us one of each.

Lucky our girl is just like her mother.

There's no doubt she'll make Daddy so proud.

But the jury's still out on her twin brother

Who's chasin' beauties, eatin' paste, talkin' loud.

Yeah, that's my boy!

CHORUS

Blood red moon,

Comin’ soon.

Blood red moon,

Comin’ soon.

See the light,

And believe.

Time is right,

To conceive,

Under a blood red moon.

BRIDGE #2  (Very optional)

There is one thing I can’t understand:

Was it (just) dumb luck, or a higher power’s hand,

Which gave this vision unto me?

But we learned for sure (that) it probably ain’t wise,

To mix Tequila shots with chili cheese fries,

Unless you (really) want an epiphany.

Yep, that‘ll give you visions!!!!!

INSTRUMENTAL SOLO

REPRISE  (Very optional)

I'm aware of the perception,

That this might be a deception.

Or perhaps I'm just a common loon.

But please get off the contraception,

Before the coming interception,

We're gonna have,

With a Blood Red Moon.

The End
