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 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't keep I thanked you for being honest I told you, "don't pull that shit on me" These are the hangover days Frosted glass, metallic gleam All these new non-places They erase your memory 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 streets 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
