i remember when
you were sitting by me
skin was warm and tan
it was worth a try, see
you were flesh and blood
and that’s more than i’d had
it was so good
it was so bad

and they’re building highrises in brooklyn
watch out, they’re taking names
and i am so tired of carrying round
the weight of your shame

beauty’s a cruel lover
always leaves you in the end
and charm ain’t nothing but
a fair-weather friend
but oh, how i kept you
my heart was double dared
but ever since i met you
i’ve been gaspin’ for air
gaspin’ for air

you cannot have my heart
you cannot have my home

smoke it has a shadow
but it’s really only air
and the love that you gave me
nothing has compared
but that’s only cause
i insist on eating s***
and good aint so good
if this is as good as it gets
