Lyrics

Fingernail Moon

Well, they hired an Eighties cover band
They sang a little ditty about Jack and Diane
And I was comfortable in my tight pegged pants
I felt like I was at my eighth grade dance
Thinking it?s unusual for this time of year
It is unusual to find you here

Chorus: And I threw my eyes on your cotton dress
You were beautiful. You were nothing less
And it was humorous, any fool could see
That you were dangerous for a fool like me

My parents are playing cards down the street
At our neighbor?s house and they?ve never been beat
Man, it?s getting late. They?ll probably be home soon
So, can I kiss you ?neath this fingernail moon?
And say it is unusual for this time of year
It is unusual to find you here

Chorus: And I?ll throw my eyes on your cotton dress
You are beautiful, and I must confess
That it?s obvious, hell, any fool could see
That I?m in love with you. Are you in love with me?

Bridge: And if you say yes, I?ll hold you close
Up against my chest and press your nose
And kiss your lips like they?ve never been
And pray this night will never end

But it?s getting late, and it?s cold for June
So, can I kiss you ?neath this fingernail moon?
