There's a smog moon coming I can always feel it
Cartoon trees cannot conceal it
When it's high up in the sky it almost looks like it is white
When it's high up in the sky it almost looks like it is white
When it's high up in the sky it almost looks like it is white
When it's high up in the sky it almost looks like
