lyrics

The chickadee looks nice and cute, but still cries when it flys;
The common loon may glide real fast, but then is forced to dive.
So if the night is coming now, and if the wind does blow,
Who on Earth will see them? Who will ever know?

The starfish on a beach washed up, can't inch or jump or flee;
The jellyfish just washed up too, Think's its toast, "Oh my! Oh Me!"
So if the night is coming, now, and if the waves do scare.
Who on Earth will see them? Who will ever care?

That man up there he might; Cockeyed, full of light;
That man up there he's watching;
That man up on the moon.

The boy with fists may use them when words just won't suffice;
The quiet girl may disappear her veins just throbbing ice;
So if the night is coming, now, and if the storm does rage.
Who on Earth will see them? And open up their cage?

That man up there he might; Cockeyed, full of light;
That man up there he's watching;
That man up on the moon.

He might only flash you a cosmic smile,
But a lunar grin is still worth your while.
If gravity has got you down,
the situation (and he orbit) will come around.

That man up there he might;
That crazy what's he doing he's reflecting all the sun's light;
That man up there he's watching;
That man up on the moon.

That man up there he might; Cockeyed, full of light;
That man up there he's watching;
That man up on the moon.
