Someone's opening up for business
  The morning rings the same old way
  But someone should've taught me forgiveness
  Now I see it in the cruel light of day
  
  Tell him he's done me a kindness
  She was going to leave anyway
  But love is such sweet blindness
  'Til you see it in the cruel light of day
  
  Last night was just a comedy
  And I woke up like a walking tragedy
  And it was right in front of me
  But I just laughed and turned my eyes away.
  
  So pour me another cup of coffee
  I ain't ever seen the city look so grey
  And those pretty little diamonds in the darkness
  They ain't no jewels in the cruel light of day.
  
  No I ain't some accessory
  She can slip off from her back and just fold away
  I don't need no one undressing me
  When I wake up in the same suit everyday.
  
  So someone's opening up for business
  The shutters roll so familiarly
  And out of darkness comes relief sing the witless
  But I don't see it in the cruel light of day.
