Cibo Matto Sing "Moonchild" in 1999

"Moonchild" is the second single released from the second Cibo Matto album, Stereo ★ Type A. It was released in 1999. B-side "Backseat" was included on the Japanese version of the album.

Cibo Matto (meaning crazy food in Italian, and pronounced [ˈtʃiːbo ˈmatto]) are a New York City-based band formed by two Japanese women, Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori, in 1994. Initially, the lyrics in their songs were primarily concerned with food, before expanding into broader subject matter following the addition of Sean Lennon, Timo Ellis and Duma Love to the band, showcased on their second studio album.

While the two founding members of the group are Japanese expatriates, they are not especially popular in Japan; the group did not gain nearly as large a following in Japan as it did in the United States. According to Billboard, their first album Viva! La Woman sold only 20,000 copies in Japan but over 74,000 copies in the U.S. Japanese listeners did not understand the appeal of the group.




Moonchild, [Incomprehensible] still live in my heart
Can I ask you something, is your life better now?
Moonchild, still live in my heart
Can I ask you something, is your life better now?

Sometimes I feel you're sitting next to me
Listening to my stories
Time always shows me it's hard to understand
How to be myself

Moonlight dries your tears
Moonlight hides your fears
Moonlight dries your tears
Moonlight hides your fears

Moonchild, still live in my heart
Can I ask you something, is your life better now?
Moonchild, still live in my heart
Can I ask you something, is your life better now?

Sometimes I feel you're smiling at me
And telling me your memories
The tide always moves fast
Can you tell me how to find words inside a shell?

Moonlight dries your tears
Moonlight hides your fears
Moonlight dries your tears
Moonlight hides your fears

Can't you get that? Do you know what you're doing, baby?
Do you know what you're doing, baby?
Can't you get that? Do you know what you're doing, baby?
Do you know what you're doing, baby?

Moonchild, still live in my heart
Can I ask you something, is your life better now?
Moonchild, still live in my heart
Can I ask you something, is your life better now?

Can't you get that? Do you know what you're doing, baby?
Do you know what you're doing, baby?
Can't you get that? Do you know what you're doing, baby?
Do you know what you're doing, baby?

Moonchild, do you know what you're doing, baby?
Do you know what you're doing, baby?
Moonchild, do you know what you're doing, baby?
Do you know what you're doing, baby?

Moonchild, do you know what you're doing, baby?
Do you know what you're doing, baby?
Moonchild, do you know what you're doing, baby?
Do you know what you're doing, baby? Moonchild
