It's Hard

The last call bell rings at Au Revoir

It's three o'clock and we've closed the bar

They've been goin' down fast

Goin' down slow

The ice in my mouth won't melt but you know

Where to go for another thrill

It's rebound where time stands still

It's like '83 or '82 or '85 it's hard to tell

Down the stairs, laugh, no smokin' sign

Coat's covered in ash and my heart still full of wine

And it's hard

It's hard enough

Oh, it's hard

The fish wall first

The heavenly rest

The figure eight

The fish wall first

The heavenly rest

The figure eight

Then the one that I like best

We watched the moves, now we'll get up and go

Back and forth with my head held low

Arms swing in time to a tune I don't know

Sounds familiar but it's sure not The Cure

Remember days waiting by the phone?

Of worse yet, losin' a number at home?

Ripped up bill just wet from the washer

Knowin' that you never could, never would call her?

Walk back and forth with my head held low

Arms swing in time to the tune that I don't know

And it's hard

It's hard enough

Oh, it's hard
