[Verse 1]

I hate to do this

But you're a pain in the neck

I thought you knew this

You're handing me a canceled check

You're so helpless

Your girlfriends think you're a saint

I'll give you a quarter

I'll keep my judgements to myself

[Chorus]

And I get caught up

In the moonlight

Reaching out for a rotten egg

I don't want to beg

It's crystal clear

Your time is nearly gone

[Verse 2]

Count your blessings

And do the things that you should

Oh, the has-beens

That never had it so good

Stormy weather

The kids are making a racket

In the wilderness

The wild lives are so mild

[Chorus]

And I get caught up

In the moonlight

Reaching out for a rotten egg

I don't want to beg

It's crystal clear, your time is nearly gone

[Chorus]

And I get caught up

In the moonlight

Reaching out for a rotten egg

I don't want to beg

It's crystal clear, your time is nearly gone
