He's eager to leave
Squeeze six in his taxi's back seat
He's animal grace
He's heartbreak and spit takes
And we run these streets
With tongues neatly tucked in our teeth
We're easy to please
We're equally cheap meat
[Chorus]
Be careful who you dance with
Somebody's 'bout to get his head kicked in
This wasn't how we planned it
Now don't go asking where we've been
We're all reckless romantics
Why fight the function we've been burnished with
There's no good way to say this
Best just to take it on the chin
Left limp in the wrist
Trade spit with his celibate kid
They know where you live
You know who I've been with
And kicked in the ribs
Some kid with his sibilant lisp
He knows what he did
And the lads left him lifeless
[Chorus]
