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 in hell

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 watch the velvet drapes appear

And the door was closed for forty 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
