It`s safe in the city, to love in a doorway
To wrangle some screens from the door
And isn`t it me, putting pain in a stranger?
Like a portrait in flesh, who trails on a leash
Will you see that I`m scared and I`m lonely?
So I`ll break up my room, and yawn and I
Run to the centre of things
Where the knowing one says
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing, sweet thing
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
`Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing
I`m glad that you`re older than me
Makes me feel important and free
Does that make you smile, isn`t that me?
I`m in your way, and I`ll steal every moment
If his trade is a curse, then I`ll bless you
And turn to the crossroads, and hamburgers, and
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing, sweet thing
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
`Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing
