Lyrics
Girls who tan in winter
Boys who never grow up
That's not me, that's not you
Now you look just like they do
And here you find yourself
In a place like this with people like you
From the little boy you call your own
To the killer now who sleeps alone
A leather vest, a millionaire
I wasn't dressed as well as you
I have your hands cuffed
I got the good stuff
Take off your makeup
Your husband's overseas
Honesty in a dealer's hand
My life relies on you
Honesty with your medicine
I never dressed as well as you
Turn the lights and dive in
The cuts you said were good
Face first, your head cracks
Oh no, what a shame
Turn the lights and dive in
The cuts you said were good
Face first, your head cracks
Oh no, what a shame
A foreign star, a fireball
The light was turning red
In a plastic haze, we heard you say
The wallet chain, Fugazi
The tattoo fades by fifty
In a distant rain, they washed away
From the little girl you call your own
To the runaway, the centerfold
A crappy dress and curly hair
I never dressed as well as you
Stay with me in the ghetto
When a shot is put on you
Always leave unsettled
Stay with me in the ghetto
When a shot is put on you
Always leave unsettled
Like you always do
I never dressed as well as you
