You Pretend to Be the Moon

Future Bible Heroes is an American indie pop group led by Stephin Merritt, best known for his work with The Magnetic Fields. Merritt shares vocal duties with fellow Magnetic Fields member Claudia Gonson, who sings on the entirety of 2002's Eternal Youth. In contrast to much of Merritt's work with other groups, the Future Bible Heroes work largely on electronica-based disco, with music provided by Chris Ewen, formerly of Figures on a Beach. In 1995, the group contributed the song "Hopeless" to the AIDS benefit album Red Hot + Bothered, produced by the Red Hot Organization. more »

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

You pretend to be the moon
Infinitely far away
And you're always leaving soon
But what you want, you'll never say

You pretend to be the moon
Looking down upon us all
Always taking a dim view
Feeling cold and blue and small

You've seen your friends and lovers die
The weepy ends, but you don't cry
Remember when we'd wave goodbye?
At least I tried

You pretend to be the moon
With another secret face
Always only passing through
Because you come from outer space

You pretend to be the moon
Old and fat and made of stone
But I've seen you in the nude
When you thought you were alone
