Strokes - Life Is Simple In The Moonlight lyrics

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 You never were so sure, was the moment 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 the door was closed for forty years As we hide what we don't want to hear As we hide our dream, near here He is coming from a part of hell Where, like Nanbu, I don't go down well He can tell that we're oblivious It's addiction and routine as well Making fools out of the best of us Making robots of the rest of us In that sense, I tell, in America today There's a crime, just like going out westward, says Don't try to stop us Don't try to stop us Don't try to stop us Get out of the way
