She's Alright - The Optic Nerve

Well, the moon in New York tonight was beautiful I wish you were around to see it too I'm so happy I could cry, why'd you have to go and die like that? It's a shame when people ain't around to see The smiles that they nurture, the laughter they breed These people don't know me, and I don't plan on showing what I've seen And I threw up on a corner in Philadelphia She said, "Boy, there ain't no real point in helping ya" The only thing you've ever owned were high hopes and a pocket comb, you fool So don't act like you know who I am 'Cause the more I'll explain, the less you'll understand Them assholes downtown are the only ones around that even try So look up tonight The moon, she's shining, and we'll be alright 'Cause she's still smiling The city lights'll blow mama's mind The more I search, the less I find But I'm alright 'Cause she's here tonight Oh, she's alright And I still recall the night you're heading home You were fighting so hard, I knew you couldn't be alone Your hand in my hand, I knew I had to be a man from that night on And I'll tell you all these stories one day And we'll laugh like we used to and waste the night away You'll say, "Boy, how I've missed ya," but son, I was with you this whole time So look up tonight The moon, she's shining, and we'll be alright 'Cause she's still smiling The city lights'll blow mama's mind The more I search, the less I find But I'm alright 'Cause she's here tonight Oh, she's alright She's alright Oh, she's alright The moon in New York tonight was beautiful I wish you were around to see it too I'm so down that I could cry, why'd my best friend up and die like that?
