New Romance

Days go by, no reply
The smoke high on the avenue
You and I know that you're not gonna leave it anyway
Pick me up, I know you're close
The headlights running down the wall

Last night I'm messing up
Now I feel like dressing up
I-L-Y-S-F-M
Take my chances

New romances, eyes roll on the avenue
Left on red, daylight moving backwards
'Cause you're off again
Can you fly higher than a hawk flies in a black-star sky?

Last night I'm messing up
Now I feel like dressing up
I-L-Y-S-F-M

Block after block with the speakers up
Night after night we say our goodbyes
My love drips in red out of my mind at the edge of the sky

You feel your heart break
And you don't know why
You're somebody else, somebody new
Fuck it you said: It's beginning to look like the end
So sick of swimming, I'm in over my head
No wrong or right, I know it's true

Last night I'm messing up
Now I feel like dressing up
Last night I'm messing up
Now I feel like dressing up
