| Grapefruit moon, one star shining | |
| Shining down on me | |
| Heard that tune, and now I'm pining | |
| Honey, can't you see? | |
| 'Cause every time I hear that melody | |
| Something breaks inside | |
| And the grapefruit moon, one star shining | |
| Can't turn back the tide | |
| Never had no destinations | |
| Could not get across | |
| You became my inspiration | |
| Oh, but what a cost | |
| And every time I hear that melody | |
| Something breaks inside | |
| And the grapefruit moon, one star shining | |
| Is more than I can hide | |
| Now I'm smoking cigarettes | |
| And I strive for purity | |
| And I slip just like the stars | |
| Into obscurity | |
| And every time I hear that melody | |
| Puts me up a cheer | |
| And the grapefruit moon, one star shining | |
| Is all that I can see |
