"Lua" by Bright Eyes (off "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning")

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

When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend
I get a coffee and a 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.

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
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 got it bad
But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning's such a drag.

I have a flask inside my pocket we can drink 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 still killed all the pain
But what was normal in the eveing by the morning seems 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 reccomend, but it is one way to live
Because what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is
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


Ironically, this album also has one of the happiest, sweetest songs I've ever heard ("First Day of My Life")
