Lyrics

this is the darkest place
I've ever beenbut
I like what little of you
I've seenyou stepped out of the
TV screenand into my most personal dreams
I don't want to go home with youbut the
TV tells me what to do
I don't want to fall in love with youbut
I've been conditioned towe are the rats in the garbage of the western worldso let's dance!
I wouldn't look twice if
I were sober enoughbut
I can tell you're a diamond in the roughthe way you don't talk and the way you don't walkjust like a model
I know this is gonna be lovein a place like this with a boy like youanything could happen if you want it to
I want to shoot you and hang you on my wallbut there's no film in my polaroid...
