Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

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

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
