The hospital wouldn't admit you
So we go home again Right back to the same old room Right back to the same old thing But you know you're just another girl Come from some carry-out in hell You're just another story of how they fucked up the life Of a sweet girl We'll sit and look at the street Watch the El Dorados roll by You can't look your murderers, You can't look them in the eye But you know they can always spot you From a mile away They give you anything you want They'll do anything you say And outside this bar there's no one alive Outside this bar how does anyone survive Together you and me you know we've gotta destroy this world C'mon darling we've gotta destroy this world And I remember when Your girlfriend would put you on display You'd be the life of the party 'Til they come and drag you away But in the end we'll watch the pattern As it begins to tear We'll see the chaos that's underneath All the clothes that the angels wear And outside this bar there's no one alive Outside this bar how does anyone survive Together you and me you know we'll never destroy this world C'mon baby I wish we could destroy this world Outside this bar Together you and me turn this quiet night into silence Together we'll turn this love into violence |
