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 the 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. 


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


I’ve got a flask inside my pocket 
we can share it on the train 
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 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 recommend, 
but it is one way to live 
Cause what is simple in the moonlight, 
by the morning never is 
What’s so simple in the moonlight, 
now is so complicated 
What’s so simple in the moonlight, 
so simple in the moonlight
