American Nightmare Shoplifting In A Ghost Town Lyrics

Shoplifting In A Ghost Town Lyrics

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
