lyrics

Lyrics:

Baby baby baby baby please don’t leave
Don’t you see what they’d make me be
Don’t you see what they’d make me believe

They want me to be an object
They want me to be a pawn
In their game
They ask: Do I play?
No no no I’m not a mannequin
Or a mandolin

I got these pawn shop blues
I’ve got nothing to lose
I’ve got my knees all rouged
For you

But they’re hidden
In this old shag
I’ve got the rug burns to prove
My love is true
To you

But you know you know you know you know who I am
And you got you got you got you got a good plan

Won’t you let me in
Let me be your heroine
Won’t you let me sin
This life’s too real just to pretend

I see the Sunset Strip
And it’s all green-lit
From down on Skid Row
To Chateau Marmont

We’ll get the penthouse suite
And we’ll dress real neat
Glide through the gate
To that shining fate
One day

But for now we eat our ramen and whiskey
Sell keys on our knees
And we get real frisky
If we need

Oh baby baby baby baby’s not just a child
And daddy daddy daddy ain’t a pedophile

Won’t you let me in
Let me be your heroine
Won’t you let me sin?
Let’s stop the bullshit and begin

And we bleed. And we teeth. And we feed. And we dream.
And we bleed again.
Hemophilia baby it don’t stop
Hemophilia baby it don’t stop

That’s why I’m kneeling at your door
On the floor
Asking if there’s more

More than anything you dull my pain
We know our loves not real
But at least it makes us feel
Something

Won’t you let me in
Let me be your heroine
Won’t you let me sin
Come on let’s do it all again

Cause we know we know we know we know to atone
So we aren’t we aren’t we aren’t ever alone

Out on that Sunset Strip
Out on that green-lit upset subset Sunset Strip
Out on that Sunset Strip
