Stephin Merritt Rats In The Garbage Of The Western World
This is the darkest place I've ever been
But I like all of you that I have seen
You stepped out of the T.V. screen
And into my most personal dreams
I don't wanna go home with you
But the T.V. tells me what to do
I don't wanna fall in love with you
But I've been conditioned to
We are the rats in the garbage of the Western world
We are the rats in the garbage of the Western world
We are the rats in the garbage of the Western world
So let's dance!
I wouldn't look twice if I were sober enough
But I can tell you're a diamond in the rough
The way you don't talk and the way you don't walk
Just like a model, I know this is gonna be love
In a place like this with a boy like you
Anything could happen if you want it to
I want to shoot you and hang you on my wall
But there's no film in my Polaroid
We are the rats in the garbage of the Western world
We are the rats in the garbage of the Western world
We are the rats in the garbage of the Western world
So let's dance!
We are the rats in the garbage of the Western world
We are the rats in the garbage of the Western world
We are the rats in the garbage of the Western world
So let's dance!
