Canned Heat
A song from Canned Heat’s Album Hallelujah. At first, it’s simply a song about the band’s worry that could, and perhaps would destroy the moon one day if they wanted to; additionally, it can be interpreted as a song contemplating superficial beauty.
[Verse 1]
Ever since I was a kid
You sure looked good to me
Now, I'm a man full-grown, and I
Know what I hate to see
[Chorus]
(Oh well) It might be tomorrow
(Oh well) I just don't know
(Oh well) It might take years
I wonder when they're going to destroy your face
[Verse 2]
It may seem silly, but I don't like
What's been coming down
'Cause you've been looking good too long
To change your color now
[Chorus]
(Oh well) They might test some bombs
(Oh well) And scar your skin
(Oh well) I don't think they care, so
I wonder when they're going to destroy your face
[Verse 3]
I hope I see you in the sky
At night when I get old
I hope you'll look about the same
As when I was a boy
[Chorus]
(Oh well) It gets me to gasping
(Oh well) When I think about
(Oh well) What they might do
I wonder when they're going to destroy your face
[Bridge]
Well, you sure look good
In the sky at night
And it's sad to say
You won't shine so bright
Some day
When they're through with you
[Verse 4]
I bet you've seen the cloud we make
That covers up LA
I wonder if you'll hide behind
A shroud like that some day
[Chorus]
(Oh well) I'm worried about it
(Oh well) It makes me sigh
(Oh well) I just can't help it
I wonder when they're going to destroy your face
(Oh well) It might be tomorrow
(Oh well) I just don't know
(Oh well) It might take years
I wonder when they're going to destroy your face
