   [...] hear a demo from Grimm’s upcoming, as yet unnamed album, click here. Unless you use Firefox, which blows and doesn’t integrate for shit with this [...]

   Yeah, you’re pretty, but so was Ava Gardner
   And she lured men unto mutually assured immolation
   You just hang up there doing nothing for anyone
   Except making the tides and impossible expectations

   And you’re an enigma like a Robert Mitchum tough guy
   One evening cold, aloof, the next a shining knight
   Battered by fate or cosmic whimsy
   Ever seeking shadow with the dawn’s new light

   Grifter moon like a come-hither Cheshire smile
   Grifter moon a magic mirror of every hope in the world
   Enchanting the lonely like a b-girl But if she
   looks up tonight, make her happy if just for a little while

   You’re a flame to a moth like a Linda Darnell glare
   However cold to our attentions, we can’t look away
   Composed of light and shadow, dream and desolation
   You’re a bygone goddess, you’re ravishing cliche

   Yeah, you’re timeless, like a Jules Dassin movie
   Up there reminding us you’ll be here when we’re gone
   And the night behind you goes on forever even beyond
   The stars we vainly wish upon

   Grifter moon like a come-hither Cheshire smile
   Grifter moon a magic mirror of every hope in the world
   Enchanting the lonely like a b-girl But if she
   looks up tonight, make her happy if just for a little while
