Arthur Schopenhauer

I could sit here and nod
and look like I care
about what you're saying

can you sleep with that?
and if I fall at this point
will you still pick me up?

shall we dance in the living room again
maybe baby can we could walk danzig town
or head into berlin for the winter

but what's the point
throwing emotion
at something that's dead

I'm heading to the zoo
where universal compassion, even for the chimps
is the only guarantee of morality

and baby I lost all my morals
hanging out with you,
the girl without compassion
