Night to Night

(from the CD Songs from the Bright Side)

Night to night, day to day
It's a crime to try to live this way
Day to day, night to night
It's a shame to think about it, it's a crime to ever even try
Did I want to live and die with Mona Lisa?
Did I really want to be Vincent van Gogh?
If I cut my other ear off would it please her?
Did I want to be a bar stool for Marilyn Monroe?

The great affair is over, I'm running for cover
Lover lover lover lover lover lover.

Did I love her? did she love me?
In the darkness we created it's impossible to see
Night to night, day to day
In the panic we invented it's impossible to say
Did I really want to be a famous hero?
Did I want to be a shadow in a bar?
Did I simply want to disappear to zero?
Did I really want the woman or did I want the scar?

Blood may be thick but love may be thicker
But every time I fall in love I wind up getting sicker.

Time to time, year to year
It was heart to heart, now it's tear to tear
It was face to face, it was eye to eye
Now it's day to day, and it's night to night
Did I really want to do the hardest rock climb?
Did I want to spend a year on the highest cliff?
Did I think I could exist outside of clock time?
Did I realize an avalanche could weigh as much as this?
