Someone's opening up for business
The morning rains the same old way
But someone should've taught me for - giveness
Now I see it in the cruel light of day
Telling me he's done me a kindness
She was going to leave any - way
But love is such sweet po - liteness
Till you see it in the cruel light of day
Last night was just a comedy
And I woke up like a walking trage - dy
And it was right in front of me
But I just laughed and turned my eyes a - way
So pour me an - other cup of coffee
I ain't ever seen the city look so grey
And those pretty little diamonds in the darkness
Ain't no jewels in the cruel light of day
No I ain't some ac - cessory
She can slip off from her back and just fold a - way
I don't need no-one un - dressing me
When I wake up in the same suit every day
So someone's opening up for business
The shutters roll so familiar - ly
And out of darkness comes re - lief, sing the witless
But I don't see it in the cruel light of day
No I don't see it in the cruel
light of day//
