Cruel World

Cruel world
It's past my bedtime and we're here alone
Blurry eyed
Sipping scotch we watch a stupid show
Lingering a few
Our loves are little tight
Maybe things would loosen up
If I caught a later flight

Cruel world
Cruel world

Modern world
Don't know how you keep me on my knees
I paid you price
To find the weakness of your currency
Reaching for you now
Your lips are blue and cold
Our love is but a habit dear
Our schtick is getting very old
There are moments I remember very well
Those promises we made
Even as those moments linger I can tell
I'm acting like a blind man
I should leave you where behind

Yesterday
Was innocent like a child
Crazy crazy free
All the sparks they were flying awhile
But life will have its way
Of turning things around
Replacing all those guarantees
With a few of very shaky ground

There are moments I remember very well
Those promises we made
Even as those moments linger I can tell
I'm acting like a foolish man
Should leave you where behind

You're a cold cruel world
You're a cold cruel world
You're a cold cruel world
You're a cold cruel world
You're a cold cruel world

Gonna leave you there
Gonna leave you there
You're a cold cruel world
But I don't know how
But I don't know how
You're a cold cruel world
Gonna leave ya

Gonna leave you now (Gonna leave you now)
Gonna leave you now (Gonna leave you now)
But I don't know how
You're a cold cruel world
