Life Is Simple In the Moonlight

Animals on TV singing about some pain that they once felt There's no one I disapprove of more, or root for more than myself I wanted to pretend that it was better, better, better on the phone I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous and alone So we talk about ourselves and how To forget the love we never felt All the old jokes that work so well Universal truth was a moment's lie Don't try to stop us, don't try to stop us Don't try to stop us, get out of the way Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I see She sees her father in that old man's eyes, while secretly he stares at her thighs Animals on TV singing about some pain they felt at some point I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous What's the point? As I watched the velvet drapes appear And that door was closed for 40 years As we hide what we don't wanna hear As we hide what's really in our ears He is coming from a part of hell Where lightning blue eyes don't go down well He can tell that we're oblivious It's addiction of routine as well Making fools out of the best of us Making robots of the rest of us Innocence itself in America today Is a crime just like Cornel West might say Don't try to stop us, don't try to stop us Don't try to stop us, get out of the way
