The Day My Night Flew By

I forgot to have an idea on the day my night flew by I was challenging a blind man just to look me in the eye At the corner of the circle where we ask the same old answers I slept right through the nightmare and I drown the dead romancers I kept tunneling for darkness but I couldn't find the sky It just hurt too much to love you on the day my night flew by I remembered to forget you when the sun came up tonight I was thinking about nothing I was looking out of sight Speaking up in silence because I had far too much to say The priceless worthless poet dressed in naked lingerie Locked inside a universe where rules do not apply It was just like I remembered it on the day my night flew by It was the day my night kept whispering another name I can't say what's right I can't play another lover's game The truth got lost the future put her hand in mine My youth got tossed into a twenty-dollar bottle of wine I keep on learning from these lessons but I often wonder why I wouldn't listen to your confessions on the day my night flew by It was almost an illusion that was truer than the fire Buried in confusion and lower now that we are higher I couldn't see the vision that evaporates to rock Lost in indecision and the ticking of a clock I couldn't feel this feeling I couldn't find the tears to cry As we lay there on your ceiling on the day my night flew by On the day my night flew by It was the day my night kept whispering another name I can't say what's right I can't play another lover's game The truth was lost the future put her hand in mine My youth got tossed into a twenty-dollar bottle of wine I keep on learning from these lessons but I often wonder why I wouldn't listen to your confessions on the day my night flew by On the day my night flew by On the day my night flew by Well I forgot to have an idea On the day my night flew by On the day my night flew by
