Lua
Bright Eyes Lyrics

I know that it is freezing
Despite the cold, we need to go outside

But I think we have to walk
Walking is necessary and important

Keep waving at the taxis
Try to hail a cab

They keep turning their lights off
The taxis are ignoring us

But Julie knows a party at some actor's Westside loft
We have access to a party at a fancy location

Supplies are endless in the evening
There is unlimited access to drugs and alcohol at the party

By the morning they'll be gone
The drugs and alcohol will only last for the night

When everything is lonely
During times of loneliness

I can be my own best friend
I can rely on myself for comfort

I get a coffee and the paper
I have simple and solitary habits

Have my own conversations
Having imaginary conversations with myself

With the sidewalk and the pigeons
Talking to the surroundings and animals

And my window reflection
Talking to my own reflection

The mask I polish in the evening
The facade I maintain during social situations

By the morning looks like shit
By the morning, my facade is not as effective

And I know you have a heavy heart
I sense that you are carrying a heavy burden

I can feel it when we kiss
I can sense it even during intimate moments

So many men stronger than me
Many people have tried to help you

Have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
They have tried and failed to relieve your burden

But me, I'm not a gamble
I can be relied upon

You can count on me to split
You can rely on me to leave when things get tough

But love I sell you in the evening
I can provide comfort in the night

By the morning won't exist
But it will not last beyond the night

You're looking skinny like a model
You are very thin

With your eyes all painted black
Wearing heavy makeup

You just keep going to the bathroom
Frequent trips to the restroom

Always say you'll be right back
Promising to return quickly

Well, it takes one to know one kid
I have my own struggles with addiction

I think you've got it bad
You are also struggling with addiction

But what's so easy in the evening
Drugs are easy to come by at night

By the morning's such a drag
But the after-effects make the mornings difficult

I've got a flask inside my pocket
I have alcohol with me

We can share it on the train
We can drink together on our journey

And if you promise to stay conscious
Asking for a similar promise in return

I'll try and do the same
I will also try not to lose consciousness

Well, we might die from medication
There's a risk of overdose

But we sure killed all the pain
Drugs have numbed our pain

But what was normal in the evening
Actions under the influence feel normal at night

By the morning seems insane
But they seem crazy in the morning

And I'm not sure what the trouble was
I'm not sure what caused our problems

That started all of this
The root cause of our addiction

The reasons all have run away
The reasons are no longer clear

But the feeling never did
But the feeling of emptiness remains

It's not something I would recommend
I don't recommend this lifestyle

But it is one way to live
But it is a way to cope with loneliness and pain

'Cause what is simple in the moonlight
Actions that feel simple under the influence

By the morning never is
Feel complicated and difficult in the sober light of day

It was so simple in the moonlight
Things felt easier under the influence

Now it's so complicated
But they are now complicated and difficult

So simple in the moonlight
But they still feel simple under the influence
