The Strokes - Life Is Simple In The Moonlight lyrics

Animals on TV singing about something that they once felt There's no one I disapprove of more or root for more than myself I wanted to pretend that I 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 in hell To forget the love we never felt All the old jokes that worked so well Universal truth was a moments lie 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 the old man's eyes while secretly he stares at her thighs Animals on TV singing about something 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 fourty years 'Cause we hide what we don't wanna hear As we hide what's real, in our ears He is coming from a part of hell Where lightning blue eyes don't go down well He can tell that were oblivious It's addiction and routine as well Making fools out of the best of us Making robots of the rest of us Innocence itself in America today Is a crime, just like Cornell West would say Don't try to stop us Don't try to stop us Don't try to stop me Get out of the way
