I dreamt I saw you running for your life
The bills are stacking up, I can't lie
The record studio can't pay the rent
I spent my last dollars on this track
I miss the corner store around the block
I used to stay out front around the clock
I think they're coming to collect the debt
Can't pay the bill cause the money's spent
I swear I saw you in another life
That's where I'll see you on another night
The gun goes pop, tongue is red
The neighbor's shot, sent the city man
You wanna get close to me
Really wanna get close to me
So you wanna get close to me
I don't know why I'm here
Oh, oh, oh, now
You wanna get close to me
Really wanna get close to me
So you wanna get close to me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, now
We're merely fainting in spite
What's bleeding in the street light
We're always feeling the same
Can't see what's black and what's white
Can't tell what's nearly inside
We're always feeding the night
So you wanna get close to me
Really wanna get close to me
So you wanna get close to me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, now
You wanna get close to me
Really wanna get close to me
So you wanna get close to me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, now
We're merely fainting in spite
What's bleeding in the street light
We're always feeding the night
