Moonbeam Levels Lyrics by Prince

1999 (Super Deluxe Edition)

2016

[Verse 1]
Yesterday I tried to write a novel but I didn't know where to begin
So I laid down in the grass tryin' to feel the world turn
Boy loses girl in a rain storm, nuclear World War III
All that's left is pain and sorrow, as far as he's concerned

[Chorus]
He says please send all your moonbeam levels to me
Please send all your moonbeam levels to me
Please send all your moonbeam levels to me
I'm lookin' for a better place to die

[Verse 2]
Maybe he's lookin' for a different world
Maybe he's lookin' for a brand new high
Maybe he would like a nice condo overlookin' the rings of Saturn
Maybe he wants affection instead of a plastic life
Maybe he doesn't know what he wants at all

[Chorus]
He says please send all your moonbeam levels to me
Please send all your moonbeam levels to me
Please send all your moonbeam levels to me
I'm lookin' for a better place to die

[Bridge]
A newborn child knows nothing of destruction
Nothing of love and hate
What happens in between is a mystery
Because we don't give a damn about his fate

[Verse 3]
He said he'll never keep diaries to learn from his mistakes
Instead he'll just repeat all the good things that he's done
Fight for perfect love until it's perfect love he makes
When he's happy then his battle will be won
It's never too late

[Chorus]
He says please send all your moonbeam levels to me
Please send all your moonbeam levels to me
Please send all your moonbeam levels to me
I'm lookin' for a better place to die

He says please send all your moonbeam levels to me
Please send all your moonbeam levels to me
Please send all your moonbeam levels to me
I'm lookin' for a better place to die

[Outro]
He don't, he don't, he don't really wanna die
He don't wanna, he don't wanna, he don't wanna die
He don't wanna, he don't wanna, he don't wanna die
He don't really wanna die
