Fingernail Moon - The Jayhawks

Underneath the fingernail moon

Underneath the fingernail moon

I was feeling like it was almost funny

Small towns around lighting up the sky

Like a dozen dealers on opening night

Without the lights I can see the stars

Without the voices I can hear the words

What did you mean when I heard you say

That a whisper is louder than a scream

Well I wonder

Which one is the mayor's daughter

What was she thinking of

Would her daddy approve

And you can't keep a secret from the minister's son

Cause they'll write your name on the water tower

Without the lights I can see the stars

Without the voices I can hear the words

What did you mean when I heard you say

That a whisper is louder than a scream

Without the lights I can see the stars

Without the voices I can hear the words

What did you mean when I heard you say

That a whisper is louder than a scream

When the world around is closing in

And things don't seem right

It takes looking out a window

Yeah underneath a fingernail moon

I was feeling like it was almost funny

I was feeling like it was almost funny

I was feeling like it was almost funny
