Two young hearts in a cage tacked up on my wall
But they're hard to look at now
This clock's ticking omens, but I read them wrong
We made it through another bad year, somehow
Black and white smiles shine down on me
I can't help myself from laughing
Flashing like cheap bright neon dreams of haunted days
Nowhere born and raised

But I remember you with your shoulders draped in my jacket
Hanging off the edge of the party, looking straight down at the street
You were always in the mood to pick up another bad habit
Won't you give me that cigarette smile, keep me starting at my feet

Do you think that I could come around the way I used to do
I'll be your loser, your creep, your liar, your cheat
Your king of self abuse

Would you deny me if I stayed for a while
You were such a righteous, rocking, desperate child

But I remember you with your shoulders draped in my jacket
You had your bangs chopped short like some second hand doo-wop queen
You said - I'm cutting out of here to Paris, New York, maybe Athens
Someplace they'd see the art in a fucking mess like me

Do you think that I could come around the way I used to do
Tell me all the ways life let you down
Call your bluffs, salt your wounds

Would you deny me if I wait on the line
Crucify all my lovers, confess to all my crimes

Black and white smiles shine down on me
Howling out swears and love songs
Flashing like cheap bright neon dreams
Flickering, Fading, Gone
