Back of the Moon [The Early Years]

Like a ping pong ball down a mountain stream
Like paper riding in the breeze
Like strolling in the dark blue streets you know

People can feel free as ease
People being what they please
People being easy, letting go
Letting go
Hey letting go

Back Of The Moon buzz
Back Of The Moon buzz
Top shebeen in Joburg is the Back Of The Moon
Top of the rest buzz, Moon is the best buzz
Right in front is the back of the moon

Though buzz may bell in driving rain
They spring right up when it's clear again
Don't snap a cry when you're feeling low
The Back Of The Moon is where the folks let go

Back Of The Moon buzz
Back Of The Moon buzz
Right in front is the back of the moon

Back Of The Moon buzz
Back Of The Moon buzz
Right behind the shanties is the Back Of The Moon
Behind all the shacks buzz
They built for the blacks buzz
Right behind is the Back Of The Moon

Though the floors start shaking when the place gets packed
Chairs are breaking and the glasses cracked
The night is in front, the day's left behind
The Back Of The Moon is where the folks unwind

Back of the moon buzz
Back Of The Moon buzz
Behind the shacks is the Back Of The Moon

Come on Lucky, let's go!
Back Of The Moon buzz
Back Of The Moon buzz
Top shebeen in Joburg is the Back Of The Moon
The end of the day buzz
Up with your pay buzz
Spend it at the Back Of The Moon

Oh the moon shines bright on the Holton Tower (Mama)
Every night is a jubilee (Mama, Papa)
The time is right when the sun's gone down
The Back Of The Moon is where the man feels free

Back Of The Moon buzz
Back Of The Moon buzz
Right in front is the Back Of The Moon
