[English]

Never really been alive before

Always lived in my head

And sometimes it was easier

Hungover and half dead

Back in town, why don't we go out

Let the rats spin around our feet

The full moon shines down

On these dirty streets

Back in town, why don't we go out

To that Ninth Street diner

And carry own slowly torturing each other

'Cause it's always the same

I came for the pleasure, but I stayed

Yes, I stayed for the pain

It's lit up like a movie scene

That halogen glow

And if you get spat on

That's just your big city baptism

You're the star of the show

Back in town, why don't we go out

And never go to sleep

To all our dreams, I'll let them

Pile up on the streets

I thought that I was here with you

But it was always just that empty room

'Cause it's always the same

I came for the pleasure, but I stayed

Yes, I stayed for the pain
