Lyric Shoplifting In A Ghost Town

I ve never seen to many stars
(And I m never gonna see them again)
I ve never known such perfection
(And I m never gonna know it again)
I ve never felt so at home
(And I m never gonna feel it again)
I want to open these veins
And never breathe again
Because the beauty is dead...
Since February 79
I ve O.D. ed on "lonesome" 22 times
(But who s counting?)
You d think by now - you would ve died
I m sorry girls - I tried
(Scream these words to me)
If imperfections are illegal
Then you should call the cops
And they should lock me up
You re such a slave to the crying game
(Scream these words to me)
We ll die alone
Picture me in brighter days
With smiles on my innocent face
(Did you forget me?)
I only wanted to be loved
I only wanted to be in love
(Scream these words to me)
If imperfections are illegal
Then you should call the cops
And they should lock me up
You re such a slave to the crying game
(Scream these words to me)
We ll die alone
Could you love a face
Full of tears soaked in song?
I can t decide...
I don t know if its worse to live or die
I am stuck on "never enough"
And the corner of "never again"
Here is a hint - don t call someone
Who just sits by the phone
Leave them alone
I loved the first few days
But its not fun playing a game
You always lose
I couldn t talk to save my life
I couldn t talk to save my life
