Conor Oberst & Gillian Welch - Lua lyrics

rate me

I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk

I just 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'll 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

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've got it bad

But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning's such a drag

I got a flask inside my pocket, we can share 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 sure killed all the pain

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

It was so simple in the moonlight, now it's so complicated

It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight

It was so simple in the moonlight
