Story Behind The Song
I wrote it, because everyone loves to write about and wail at the moon. This is my wailer.
Song Description
This is about the seduction of the night and wanting it to last. The person in the song has got it bad for the delights of the night. It has a traditional feel and a very catchy hook. It's a real raucous number that delivers in context and attitude. It hints at the love affair being over when the sun comes up. A real solid tune.
The horns and production are top notch, too.

Lyrics
Move Over Sunshine
All in good fun,
all in good time
September's moon
is spilling sunshine,
Silver-strobed satellites
Mellow as honey,
sweet as wine
Drunk astronauts
are feeling the high,
a lunatic's paradise
Even the birds they all are singing
Shoutin' out for all the world to hear
I got my bonafide religion
Maybe I got more than I need, well
Move Over Sunshine
I got my condition from the night
Nocturnally bound
I'll be gone by morning,
when ole morning comes around
Saints are unsung,
logic dies hard
Virgins are won,
Devils reborn
dim the lights, less is more
Even the old folks they are reminiscin'
Shoutin' out their sure fire recipes
Sure 'nuf they agree there's no elixir
Like the dead of night, the moon, and the right company, well
Move Over Sunshine
I got my condition from the night
Nocturnally bound
I'll be gone by morning, when ole morning comes around
