Life Is Simple in the Moonlight

Animals on TV singing About some pain that they once felt There's no one I disapprove of more or root for more than myself I wanted to pretend that it 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 and how To forget the love we never felt All the old jokes that work so well You never were so sure, was the moment 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 that old man's eyes while secretly he stares at her thighs Animals on TV singing about some pain they felt at some point I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous, what's the point?
