Originally titled “White Moon and the Red Headed Guest,” this track highlights the unintended falling and crashing of Meg’s set of bells at 3:44 and is one of three songs on Get Behind Me Satan to name drop Rita Hayworth.

[Verse 1]
White Moon, White Moon breaks open the tune
Of a deserted cartoon that I wrote
Creature come, creature, creature, my own double-feature
As I'm warmin' the bleachers at home
[Chorus 1]
Well, my nose keeps on bleeding 'cause it's Rita I'm needing
I better call out a meeting of the boys

My friends are all dying, and death can't be lying
It's the truth and it don't make a noise

Easy come, easy go, be a star of the show
I'm giving up all I know to get more
To get more
[Verse 3]
Photograph the picture, young grunt pin-up scripture
For the locker-tagged memories of war

Is a ghost
[Chorus 4]
Proto-social is the word, and the word is the bird
That flew through the herd in the snow
In the snow
[Verse 4]
Lemonade me, then grade me, then deliver my baby
And if my friends all persuade me, I'll go
Blink, blink at me Rita, don't you know I'm a bleeder?
And I promised I wouldn't lead her on
[Outro]
But she read me, then led me, and I ate what was fed me
'Til I purged every word in this song
