I just signed the papers
I resigned to verity
I gotta precede my reputation
Because it'll be the death of me
I got one foot out of the apartment
The other one's in my mouth
Oh, to be honest with ya
I don't think I got anything to talk, talk about

I just wanna feel the night
Like I used to, like I used to
And outrun all this nervousness and just be the way I was

Whaddaya say we wake up and
Tie on a couple more
We could make a list of our repercussions
That we make from the night before
Oh no, if I'm me I gotta say "fuck that"
Cos that's what this city is for
I don't wanna do it no more
Anymore

I just wanna feel the night
Like I used to, like I used to
And outrun all this nervousness and just be the way I was

The gates are closing
And the stench is disgusting
It's making me sick
And the streetlights...I feel them flickering
Might be hours before my head clears from the thick
Maybe I need to do some magic
So I disappear like a ghost
Who's been haunted
Who's been lost
Who's been loved
Who's been hunted
Who's been rotten
And he can't say he's sorry
He's sorry
For being the burden, the burden's hurtin'
