Lyrics

Moon

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well, I know that it is freezing

But I think we'll have to walk

Keep waving at the taxis

They keep turning their lights off

But Julie knows a party

At some actor's West Side loft

Supplies are endless in the evening

By the morning they'll be gone

When everything is lonely

I can be my own best friend

Get a coffee and the paper

Have my own conversations

With the sidewalk and the pigeons

And my window reflection

The mask I polish in the evening

By the morning looks like shit

And I know you have a heavy heart

I can feel it when we kiss

And many men stronger than me

Have thrown their backs out trying to lift it

But me, I'm not a gamble

You can count on me to split

The love I sell you in the evening

By the morning won't exist

You're looking skinny like a model

With your eyes all painted black

Keep going to the bathroom

Always say you'll be right back

Well, it takes one to know one, kid

I think you've got it bad

But what's so easy in the evening

By the morning's such a drag

I've got a flask inside my pocket

We can share it on the train

And if you promise to stay conscious

I will try and do the same

Yeah, we might die from medication

But we sure killed all the pain

But what was normal in the evening

By the morning seems insane

And I'm not sure what the trouble was

That started all of this

The reasons all have run away

But the feeling never did

It's not something I would recommend

But it is one way to live

Because what is simple in the moonlight

By the morning never is

Yeah, it was simple in the moonlight

Now it's so complicated

It was so simple in the moonlight

So simple in the moonlight

So simple in the moonlight
