I've never seen to many stars 
(And I'm never gonna see them again) 
I've never known such perfection 
(And I'm never gonna know it again) 
I've never felt so at home 
(And I'm never gonna feel it again) 
I want to open these veins 
And never breathe again 
Because the beauty is dead... 
Since February 79' 
I've O.D.'ed on "lonesome" 22 times 
(But who's counting?) 
You'd think by now - you would've died 
I'm sorry girls - I tried 
(Scream these words to me) 
If imperfections are illegal 
Then you should call the cops 
And they should lock me up 
You're such a slave to the crying game 
(Scream these words to me) 
We'll die alone 
Picture me in brighter days 
With smiles on my innocent face 
(Did you forget me?) 
I only wanted to be loved 
I only wanted to be in love 
(Scream these words to me) 
If imperfections are illegal 
Then you should call the cops 
And they should lock me up 
You're such a slave to the crying game 
(Scream these words to me) 
We'll die alone 
Could you love a face 
Full of tears soaked in song? 
I can't decide... 
I don't know if its worse to live or die 
I am stuck on "never enough" 
And the corner of "never again" 
Here is a hint - don't call someone 
Who just sits by the phone 
Leave them alone 
I loved the first few days 
But its not fun playing a game 
You always lose 
I couldn't talk to save my life 
I couldn't talk to save my life
