Los Lobos – Kiko and the Lavender Moon

Kiko and the lavender moon out playing

Makes believe nobody can see

And then he waits

And then he fakes

And then he bends

And then he shakes

He plays and plays

Still playing till he

Goes off to sleep

Kiko and the lavender moon

Out dancing making faces at

A big black cat and then he flies

Up to the wall

Stands on one foot

Doesn’t even fall

Dance and dance

Still dancing till

He goes off to sleep

He always sleeps

‘Til the sun goes down

He never wakes

Till no one’s around

He never stops

Can’t catch his breath

It’s always there

Scares him to death

Kiko and the lavender moon

Out dreaming ’bout green shoes

Haircuts and cake

And then he wishes

The world away

And then he kneels

As if to pray

He dreams and dreams

Kiko and the lavender moon
