lyrics

You reached out through the crowd and slyly grabbed my hand
We didn’t use words, but you knew I’d understand
Two minute conversation leaves me weak in the knees
Do you wanna take me home, are you just a careless cruel tease?

You’re leaning back with a cigarette, my mind is doing nervous pirouettes
Is this just another wild goose chase? I think you want me by the look on your face
All day I fantasize about your slime diamond eyes
And I’ll let you tell me lies ‘cause when you look at me, my heart flies

My friend says you’re no good, you’re snorting coke, popping pills
Out on tour with the boys, you’re banging dozens of girls
I’d risk devastation just to get you in my bed
Tattoo your name on my skin and play your records till I’m dead

Will I go against my own right mind in search of love that I’m not likely to find?
Let’s go out looking cool, though we’re both secretly nerds
You be Brian Jones, I’ll be Anita Pallenberg
All day I fantasize about your slime diamond eyes
And I’ll let you tell me lies ‘cause you’re my sweet punk rock prize

Now that we’ve loved, my affection has soured
You stay out drinking till the wee wee hours
Talking trash like you’re only fourteen
And your hands and your clothes reek of nicotine
But I still fantasize about your slime diamond eyes
I knew that you'd tell me lies
And so infatuation dies (x3)
I know that you wanna die
