Harry Nilsson - The Moonbeam Song

This song has a lot in common (in terms of lyrical structure) with another Nilsson-penned song, "Think About Your Troubles" from The Point. A point of view moves from one element to another in a kind of dream landscape, eventually ending up back where it started. Which probably says something about the mind of Mr. N.

A little touch that marks it as truly Harry's song is the use of the word "crap"--if he were crafting a song meant to be one hundred percent sweet it would never have been included. But to put it into an otherwise sweet and dreamy song, that particular blend of ingredients, that's Nilsson as a songwriter.
