Yellow Moon Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here, far away
One could feel the earth vibrate
Moon, changin' shape and shade
As we all do under its gaze

[Chorus]
Yellow moon on the rise
Yellow moon on the rise

[Verse 2]
'Round we go
Where we stop, yeah, no one knows
So tonight, the moon I go

[Chorus]
Yellow moon on the rise
Oh, oh

[Bridger]
An echo that rings, a bullet unchained
One life, one grave joins the parade
Ah-ha, the sky grows dark with fallen stars
Who'd come so far, a headstone engraved
The colors turn gray, the black and white fades
[Chorus]
Yellow moon on the rise
Yellow moon on the rise

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Yellow moon on the rise
Yellow moon on the rise
Oh, oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

A Neil Young-influenced track with odd signatures that almost didn’t make it to Lightning Bolt:

“That was a song that was initially taken off the first mixes, but I really, really wanted it on there. I just enjoyed the darkness of it, and I thought I did a pretty good lead on it. I worked hard on that; it’s kind of a simple lead but I wanted it to give the song some brightness, kind of like what David Gilmour always did with Pink Floyd.”
Mike McCready
