It's safe in the city to love in a doorway To wrangle some screens from the door And isn't it me, putting pain in a stranger Like a portrait in flesh who trails on a leash Will you see that I'm scared and I'm lonely? So I'll break up my room and yawn and I Run to the centre of things Where the knowing one says
"Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, sweet thing If you want it, boys, get it here, thing 'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing"
I'm glad that you're older than me Makes me feel important and free Does that make you smile, isn't that me I'm in your way and I'll steal every moment If this trade is a curse, then I'll bless you And turn to the crossroads of Hamburgers, as in
"Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, sweet thing If you want it, boys, get it here, thing 'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing"
Is it nice in your snow storm, freezing your brain Do you think that your face looks the same Then let it be, it's all I ever wanted It's a street with a deal and a taste It's got claws, it's got me, it's got you
