Hangover Days

It was in your basement apartment

With all of its earth and sea

Making love on the carpet

Under the light of the TV

Outside the sour moon minstrels

Shook their dark tambourines

The morning came in sinister

Well window light menacing

With clouds up above and clouds down below

Killing time but it won't stand still

It won't stand still

I told you I'll never make a promise

A promise I can keep

I thanked you for being honest

I told you, don't pull that **** on me

These are the hangover days

Of frosted glass, metallic gleam

All these non-new places

They erase your memory

We try so hard, we try so hard

We try so hard

We try so hard to love

We try so hard to love

It was underneath London bridge

I finally realized what you mean

Meanwhile all of fashion's latest

Were nipping at the heels of history

I tried to send you a postcard

But all you could write were apologies

So out the Columbia hotel window

I threw my heart into the street

With stars up above and stars down below

Killing time but it won't stand still

It won't stand still

We try so hard

We try so hard

We try so hard to love
