[Verse 1]
Underneath the fingernail moon
Underneath the fingernail moon
I was feeling like
It was almost funny
Small towns around, lighting up the sky
Like a dozen dealers
On opening night

[Chorus]
Without the lights, I can see the stars
Without the voices, I can hear the words
What did you mean when I heard you say
That a whisper is louder than a scream?

[Verse 2]
Well, I wonder which one's the mayor's daughter
What was she thinking of?
Would her daddy approve?
And you can't keep a secret from the minister's son
'Cause they'll write your name
On the water tower

[Chorus]
Without the lights, I can see the stars
Without the voices, I can hear the words
What did you mean when I heard you say
That a whisper is louder than a scream?
[Harmonica Solo]
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Without the lights, I can see the stars
Without the voices, I can hear the words
What did you mean when I heard you say
That a whisper is louder than a scream?

[Verse 3]
When the world around is closing in
And things don't seem right
It takes looking out a window
Underneath a fingernail moon
I was feeling like
It was almost funny
I was feeling like
It was almost funny
I was feeling like
It was almost funny
