[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


[Chorus]

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

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 3]

You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black

You just 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


[Verse 4]

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

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


[Chorus]

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

'Cause what is simple in the moonlight

By the morning never is


[Outro]

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
