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
