Lyrics

Sirens were wailing
As you whisked me away
Still can't remember
What happened to this day
I was standing on the sidewalk
Feeling kinda funny
Body outlines in purple chalk
And something about money

Chorus:
You don't have to be a nuclear physicist
Would you really want to be one anyway?
Don't feel embarrassed if you've never been kissed
You won't be lonely tonight

I was an out-of-towner
Until you showed me the scene
I was a down and outer
Looking for Benzedrine
Pain killers
Killer pain
Dirty windows
On a Slow Train

Chorus

Bridge:
Sometimes you take what you get
You don't ask how or wonder why
Sometimes you try to forget
Sometimes it's best just not to try
And in the brightest light it's often hard to see
And in this darkest night it's only you and me

Now I'm carving our initials
In a telephone pole
I'm making it official
Yeah, I'm baring my soul
And now I ask you simply
With my defenses down
Can you look more lethal
In a wedding gown?

Chorus
