Moths

Time moves in funny stages

Fluttering through the night air like moths

Glimpses of weary faces

Pale like flour, like chalk

Patience now, it's me again

Do you have a light for my cigarette?

I've been trying so hard to forget

Time pays the strangest wages

The more you earn, the more you owe

Your face, it barely ages

Just a line for every secret we know

Half the facts are all we've got

We ain't ready for the second half yet

And I've been trying so hard to forget

I tell you this, but don't repeat it

At least don't connect it to my name

I've never felt so defeated

Tell me this is all just a game

Ask not, want not

Well, I see this is getting you upset

I've been trying so hard to forget

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh
