It’s Hard

[Verse 1]
The last call bell rings at Au Revoir
It's 3 o'clock and we've closed the bar
They've been going down fast, going 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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Down the stairs, laugh, no smoking sign
Coat's covered in ash and my heart's still full of wine

[Chorus]
And it's hard
It's hard enough
Oh, it's hard

[Bridge]
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 the best

[Verse 2]
I watched the moves now I'll get up and go
Back and forth with my head held low
Arms swing in time to the tune I don't know
Sounds familiar but it's sure not The Cure
Remember the days waiting by the phone
Or worse yet, losing a number at home
Ripped up bill just wet from the washer
Knowing that you never could, never would call her

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Walk back and forth with my head held low
Arms swing in time to the tune that I don't know

[Chorus]
And it's hard
It's hard enough
Oh, it's hard
