Someones opening up for business
The morning rings the same old way
But someone shouldve taught me forgiveness
Now I see it in the cruel light of day

Tell him hes done me a kindness
She was going to leave anyway
But love is such sweet blindness
til you see it in the cruel light of day

Last night was just a comedy
And I woke up like a walking tragedy
And it was right in front of me
But I just laughed and turned my eyes away.

So pour me another cup of coffee
I aint ever seen the city look so grey
And those pretty little diamonds in the darkness
They aint no jewels in the cruel light of day.

No I aint some accessory
She can slip off from her back and just fold away
I dont need no one undressing me
When I wake up in the same suit everyday.

So someones opening up for business
The shutters roll so familiarly
And out of darkness comes relief sing the witless
But I dont see it in the cruel light of day.
