Never really been alive before I always lived in my head And sometimes it was easier Hungover and half-dead I'm back in town, why don't we go out? Let the rats spin around our feet The full moon shines down on these dirty streets I'm back in town, why don't we go out To that ninth street diner? And carry on slowly, torturing each other 'Cause it's always the same I came for the pleasure, but I stayed Yes, I stayed for the pain It's lit up like a movie scene That halogen glow And if you get spat on, that's just your big city baptism You're the star of the show I'm back in town, why don't we go out And never go to sleep? Throw our dreams out, let them pile up on the streets I thought that I was here with you But it was always just an empty room 'Cause it's always the same I came for the pleasure, but I stayed Yes, I stayed for the pain
