| [00:22.21] |
She lies there sleeping, her hair's in s mess |
| [00:27.60] |
She's got cheap red wine on the front of her dress |
| [00:32.46] |
I suppose in a way I love her no less |
| [00:37.65] |
We've all got our own way of loving I guess |
| [00:43.18] |
We're two of a kind, we get by that way |
| [00:48.10] |
Neither is waiting for the other to say |
| [00:53.15] |
I love you I need you, maybe it's true |
| [00:58.51] |
It goes without saying, it gets us through |
| [01:13.62] |
So I'll come to you once again tonight |
| [01:18.74] |
I always look better when you turn out the light |
| [01:23.97] |
Pretend that I'm special, romantic, and true |
| [01:28.98] |
And now I'll write you a poem, and I'll give it to you |
| [01:34.14] |
Pretend the I'm Byron, Shelley or Keats |
| [01:39.30] |
who plays with words and subtle deceits |
| [01:44.37] |
Pretend that I'm Romeo, troubled in love |
| [01:49.14] |
who gives you his heart in a golden glove |
| [01:56.30] |
This is my town, this is my place |
| [02:00.49] |
I've got midnight bars written over my face |
| [02:05.36] |
I've got a million miles staring out of my eyes |
| [02:10.68] |
I can play with the truth but I can't tell you lies |
| [02:15.85] |
Oh, it's hard and it's cruel but it happens to be true |
| [02:22.90] |
I haven't that much to give to you |
| [02:26.19] |
But whatever I've got you can take it for free |
| [02:32.15] |
Whatever you've got, that's enough for me |
| [02:57.96] |
Pretend that this room on the cheap side of the town |
| [03:02.50] |
is a place far away where we'll never be found |
| [03:07.57] |
where the cry of the seagull and the sound of the sea |
| [03:12.56] |
come together to make a sweet symphony |
| [03:17.67] |
Instead of this town that's covered in grime |
| [03:22.43] |
with neon rainbows beating out time |
| [03:27.62] |
Where the streets are slick with winter rain |
| [03:32.86] |
And there's no way out to start over again |
| [03:39.90] |
This is my town, this is my place |
| [03:43.93] |
I've got midnight bars written over my face |
| [03:49.50] |
I've got a million miles staring out of my eyes |
| [03:54.24] |
I can play with the truth but I can't tell you lies |
| [04:00.25] |
Oh, it's hard and it's cruel but it happens to be true |
| [04:05.84] |
I haven't that much to give to you |
| [04:10.38] |
But whatever I've got you can take it for free |
| [04:16.41] |
Whatever you've got, that's enough for me |
