Picasso Moon Lyrics by Grateful Dead

Picasso Moon Lyrics

    South of market in the land of ruin
    You get all manner of action
    Tinsel tigers in the metal room
    Stalking satisfaction.
    They got 'em packaged up for love and money
    Tattooed tots and chrome spike bunnies
    Check my conscience at the dmz
    And roll on in, gonna roll in it, honey
    But i get a feelin' like when big things collide
    Like the crack before the thunder, like i really ought to hide
    And here comes metal angel, she looks ready to ride;
    & what's that she's tryin' to show me..?
    What's that you're tryin' to show me..?

    Picasso moon, shattered light
    Diamond bullets ripping up the night
    Picasso moon, liberate me,
    From the middle of eternity,
    Something hooks her little finger at me,
    An' it's bigger than a drive-in movie, ooooo-eeee.
    Bigger than a drive-in movie, ooooo-eeee.

    Hangin' ten out on space and time
    Redefining distance.
    The next skull on your necklace is mine:
    Cheap for such assistance
    I had a job trading bits for pieces
    We'd make wrinkles, advertise them as creases
    Please, find my resignation enclosed,
    Roll with it, roll with it, we gonna roll in it, honey..,
    Dark angel, what's botherin' you?
    So strange, you'll do me all that you do
    Dark angel, you're makin' me blue..,
    I guess it doesn't matter..,
    I guess it doesn't matter...

    Picasso moon, blinding ball,
    Spinning fire, the lightning calls
    Picasso moon, fall into the sky
    Rarin' out, i'm gonna testify
    And stare a shout into that burning eye,
    Bigger than a drive-in movie, oh my.
    Bigger than a drive-in movie, oh my.

    Strikes morning; the atomic dawn,
    Scramble back to cover.
    Quick, pop your mirrored sunglasses on,
    My little leather-winged lover.
    I see your face printed on my money,
    Your blazin' ways really move me, honey..!
    Heart of darkness, yea-e-yea-e-e-hoo..,
    Why'm i laughing? this ain't funny
    Dark angel, now just don't start..,
    You'll break my spirit, wreck my heart
    You must have a license for practisin' that art.
    I don't presume to imagine.
    I don't presume to imagine.

    Picasso moon, fractal flame
    Blazing lace filling every frame
    Picasso moon, wheels within wheels
    What's true when everything's real?
    It's all new, i'm gonna scatter the seals
    Bigger than a drive-in movie, for real.
    Bigger than a drive-in movie, for real.
