you're a good girl, though i stink of bad
i need this i need him i need her i need everybody, why
but you're my best friend, you slide beneath my shadow, pretty young skin
you're my cool friend, the only one i would ever [bad word] live

and as the day ends and the night begins
this big city [bad word] like stars that don't shine right
as all of us depend on love from those above [bad word]  [bad word] of strangers

listen, i love you
wait too much, wait too much, wait too much
i can't wallow in your reckless restless hair
slave to all things useful to you
you are a dream to me
i can't recall your name your face your smell your days your mouth
even i was kindling, but not now

and as the day ends and the night begins
this big city [bad word] like stars that don't shine right
as all of us depend on love from those above [bad word]  [bad word] of strangers

i say i don't want to hurt you, but really i do
i want to caress you like no girl before then
leave your coat, hey you listen
i said that i loved you, and really i'm entered to
i try to keep some semblance of feeling trapped beneath this ??

and as the day ends and the night begins
this big city [bad word] like stars that don't shine right
a lot of us depend on love from those above [bad word]  [bad word] of strangers

you are a dream to me
you you you you you are a dream
i don't want to hurt you
no, i don't want to hurt you
mmm but i don't want to hurt you
i i i said i loved you

i need [bad word] of strangers
