Moonbeam Levels - Prince

Yesterday I tried to write a novel but I didn’t know where to begin

So I laid down in the grass tryin' to feel the world turn

Boy loses girl in a rain storm, nuclear World War III

All that’s left is pain and sorrow, as far as he’s concerned

He says please send all your moonbeam levels to me

Please send all your moonbeam levels to me

Please send all your moonbeam levels to me

I’m lookin' for a better place to die

Maybe he’s lookin' for a different world

Maybe he’s lookin' for a brand new high

Maybe he would like a nice condo overlookin' the rings of Saturn

Maybe he wants affection instead of a plastic life

Maybe he doesn’t know what he wants at all

He says please send all your moonbeam levels to me

Please send all your moonbeam levels to me

Please send all your moonbeam levels to me

I’m lookin' for a better place to die

A newborn child knows nothing of destruction

Nothing of love and hate

What happens in between is a mystery

Because we don’t give a damn about his fate

He said he’ll never keep diaries to learn from his mistakes

Instead he’ll just repeat all the good things that he’s done

Fight for perfect love until it’s perfect love he makes

When he’s happy then his battle will be won

It’s never too late

He says please send all your moonbeam levels to me

Please send all your moonbeam levels to me

Please send all your moonbeam levels to me

I’m lookin' for a better place to die

He says please send all your moonbeam levels to me

Please send all your moonbeam levels to me

Please send all your moonbeam levels to me

I’m lookin' for a better place to die

He don’t, he don’t, he don’t really wanna die

He don’t wanna, he don’t wanna, he don’t wanna die

He don’t wanna, he don’t wanna, he don’t wanna die

He don’t really wanna die
