Lyrics by Matthew Connor

when you tell me that my eyes are beautiful
i shut them as tight as i can
when you tell me that my eyes are beautiful
i shut them as tight as i can
i called my therapist from a room in the Chelsea
and i gave her a piece of my mind
there were businessmen kissing on the street down below
i guess it’s a sign of the times
but no one wants to take the train to work every day
no one wants to think about the bills they have to pay
and no one’s gonna come along and make it all okay
so don’t look at me that way
don’t you look at me that way

because all your friends are naked now and i am not amused
it’s only ten o’clock on the 1500 block and we are running out of booze
la-da-da-da-da, is that what you call dancing?
because all your friends are naked now
and i’m not quite sure what’s happening

when you tell me that my eyes are beautiful
i shut them, i shut them just as tight as i can
the security guards are so good looking
makes you want to just steal something
and i’m standing alone in a sea of cell phones
drinking and drinking and drinking and drinking
you’re all i ever wanted, yeah, i’m scared i’m stuck with you
a man ’bout town settled down with a restless ingenue
and what’s a poet s’posed to do when he becomes a muse?
tell me, what do you want me to do?
come on, tell me what to do

because all your friends are naked now and i am not amused
it’s only ten o’clock on the 1500 block and we are running out of booze
la-da-da-da-da, is that what you call dancing?
because all your friends are naked now
and i’m not quite sure what’s happening
