Lua

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 actors 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. 
I'll get the coffee and the paper,
Have my own conversations
With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my own 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. 
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. 

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

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.
We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain.
But what was normal in the evening by the morning looks 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,
'Cause what's so simple in the moonlight by the morning never is.
