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
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
