"Operation: Moonshine"

(no capo)

/ E A2 E A2 ... / / / /

The land is blazing and dry under bright desert skies
My light is waning but you won't see fear in my eyes
My people's survival depends on their mother the Moon
As I slip like a shadow right over the threshold of Noon

	/ G D A E / / G D C D / E ... /

	The Sun's cruel and heartless and lazy and bored
	So who's going to stop me from raiding his hoard?
	I'll steal that sunlight and bring back its moonshine to you

Nothing to see here, just follow the swish of my cape
Watch it float off on the wind as I make my escape
Shatter my mirror and drop it in front of the guards
Those number-crunchers will stand there and count all the shards

	When they catch on to one trick I think up ten more
	I win every point, so why even keep score?
	I'll steal that sunlight and bring back its moonshine to you

Call me a traitor to steal from my father the Sun
See you later, and thanks, dad, it's been loads of fun
This game's so shiny, let's make it a monthly affair
I'm quick and clever so, dad, you had better beware

	I once was your daughter and shone like a queen
	Now you're so damn bright I can walk here unseen
	I'll steal that sunlight and bring back its moonshine for sure

My people know they can call on my guidance in dreams
I've taught them well, they're all experts at lunatic schemes
They've all got my spit and piss on the tip of each dart
You're never going to catch them, so don't even start

	'Cause, when cornered alone with a cliff at her back
	Every one of my girls is as sharp as a tack
	So pour some more moonshine and drink to the Daughters of the Moon!
