Life Is Simple In The Moonlight Lyrics - Angles - Strokes

Animals on TV singing 

About some pain that they once felt 

There's no one that 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 work so well 

Universal truth, while the moon reflects 

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 dreams appear 

And the door was closed for forty years 

As we hide what we don't wanna hear 

As we hide between the inner ear 

He is coming from a part of hell 

Where light and blue eyes 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 

Innocence itself in America today 

Is a crime just like Cornel West insists 

Don't try to stop us, don't try to stop us 

Don't try to stop us, get out of the way
