Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know that it is freezing
But I think we have to walk
I 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
[Verse 2]
When everything is lonely
I can be my own best friend
I 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
[Verse 3]
And I know you have a heavy heart
I can feel it when we kiss
So many men stronger than me
Have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
You're looking skinny like a model
With your eyes all painted black
Just keep going to the bathroom
Always say you'll be right back
[Verse 6]
Well, it takes one to know one kid
I think you got it bad
But what's so easy in the evening
By the morning's such a drag
[Verse 7]
I 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
[Verse 8]
Well we might die from medication
But we sure killed all the pain
But what was normal in the evening
By the morning seems insane
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
It's not something I would recommend
But it is one way to live
'Cause what is simple in the moonlight
By the morning never is
[Verse 11]
It was so 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
