It's safe in the city to love in a doorway To wrangle some screams form the dawn And isn't it me, putting pain in a stranger? Like a portrait in flesh who trails on a leash
Will you see that I'm scared and I'm lonely? So I'll break up my room and yawn And I run to the center of things Where the knowing one says
"Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, sweet thing" If you want it, boys, get it here, thing 'Cause hope boys is a cheap thing, cheap thing
I'm glad that you're older than me Makes me feel important and free Does that make you smile, isn't that me? I'm in your way, and I'll steal every moment If this trade is a curse, then I'll bless you And turn to the crossroads of Hamburg, as in
"Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, sweet thing" If you want it, boys, get it here, thing My hope boys is a cheap thing, cheap thing
I'll make you a deal, like any other candidate We'll pretend we're walking home 'cause your future's at stake My set is amazing, it even smells like a street There's a bar at the end where I can meet you and your friend Someone scrawled on the wall "I smell the blood of les tricoteuses" Who wrote up scandals in other bars
I'm having so much fun with the poisonous people Spreading rumors and lies and stories they made up Some make you sing and some make you scream One makes you wish that you'd never been seen But there's a shop on the corner that's selling pappier mache Making bulletproof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
So you scream out of line "I want you! I need you! Anyone out there? Any time?" Tres butch little number whines, "Hey dirty, I want you When it's good, it's really good, and when it's bad I go to pieces" If you want it, boys, get it here, thing Whell, on the street where you live I could not hold up my head For I put all I have in another bed
On another floor, in the back of a car In the cellar like a church with the door ajar Well, I guess we've must be loking for a different kind But we can't stop trying 'till we break up our minds 'Till the sun drips blood on the seedy young knights Who press you on the ground while shaking in fright
I guess we could cruise down one more time With you by my side, it should be fine We'll buy some drugs and watch a band Then jump in the river holding hands
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing 'Cause hope boys is a cheap thing, cheap thing
Is it nice in your snow storm, freezing your brain? Do you think that your face looks the same? Then let it be, it's all I ever wanted, it's a street with a deal And a taste, it's got claws, it's got me, it's got you
