    Ah, moonlight
    It's hard to believe it
    And it's harder to need it
    But
    so easily wanted
    Pretty machines
    Expensive magazines
    I've been tricked into buying quite a number of things
    Yeah, bullshit and dreams
    Urban ease, it means I was leaved taunted
    And you think you're a modern person
    You think that you can ignore
    Silent isolation, my emancipation
    In the same place you get yours
    Oh, whiskey sips are piling while my secrets escaped
    In the skyline of hell there are no fire escapes
    Punk songs, I thought that they were different
    And I thought that they could end it
    No, no it was a deception
    Well, the number of tears
    And the number of beers were dried out and accounted
    For a number of years
    But these days I fear that my window was just a reflection
    Still, you think that you're not a servant
    You think that you can avoid
    The stylish institution, worshiping illusions
    Things you thought you could destroy
    Oh, crowded loud and crimson was my view from the pit
    I was wild, I was weird, I was shackled to it

      One time, it's so easy the fourth time
      But this side of the shoreline, we've already recovered
      Pretty machines
      Expensive routines
      Clouded and obstructed quite a number of things
      Believe me, it's harder to feel
      These days it's harder to suffer
      And you think you're a modern person
      Think you can watch something change
      And move on without you
      Side by side with doubt you
      Listen to the world exchange
      Oh, conversation starters over various meats
      In the skyline of hell where the tired retreat
