New Moon Palace

Don’t look back, past is a crime
Investigation ran out of time
when I went from East to West
on unknown father quest

I’m in danger, that’s for real
I left you against my will
in the New Moon Palace

My past is hidden in the dark
Secret shelter in Central park
A cave in the desert and in a town
The old man’s stories are written down 

Changed identity and name
But inside is all the same
in the New Moon Palace

A little Chinese dancer with a good heart
you are so beautiful and smart
“The Dragon Lady” as it was said
back in the Day of the Dead


Around the world in a day
Columbus may have reached Cathay
in the New Moon Palace

There’s a hermit and outlaws
a Russian poet talking prose
Three generations are tied by fakes
They repeat the same mistakes

When I’m in poor mental state
You’re with me, I know you wait
in the New Moon Palace

Empty beach, I’m here alone,
this is the shore where I was thrown
the fight is over and no one wins
This is where my life begins

I'm lost, but it's not a defeat,
so I'm walking down the street
to the New Moon Palace
