Real Feel 105° Bright Eyes

The body keeps the score passing out on the floor
As the party raged on, the fireplace roared
While the snow fell outside on the salt and the ice
Felt my will to live slipping away

And then you came along, wanted help with a song
Want a peek through the curtains to see how it's done
We're all make believe gods like the Wizard of Oz
"Name the animals, let there be light"

Growing old and confused, beauty's wasted on youth
Thеre's too much to redact, therе's too much to include
I hate the moon, but I'd take it from you
I want anything you have to give

Used to wait around for a handout
Pleading in the street
But you're all that I beg for now

Hot in L.A. tonight, real feel 105º
If the grid don't give out, maybe we will survive
I can tell where you've been from the look in your eyes
Watch your mind as it wanders away

I was selfish and cruel to have put that on you
Where you saw a rope swing, I saw a noose
There's too much to untangle to get to the truth
What I was thinking, I just couldn't say
