Shoplifting In A Ghost Town Lyrics by American Nightmare

Shoplifting In A Ghost Town

I've never seen to many stars
[And I'm never gonna see them again]
I've never known such perfection
[And I'm never gonna know it again]
I've never felt so at home
[And I'm never gonna feel it again]
I want to open these veins
And never breathe again
Because the beauty is dead...
Since February 79'
I've O.D.'ed on "lonesome" 22 times
[But who's counting?]
You'd think by now - you would've died
I'm sorry girls - I tried
[Scream these words to me]
If imperfections are illegal
Then you should call the cops
And they should lock me up
You're such a slave to the crying game
[Scream these words to me]
We'll die alone
Picture me in brighter days
With smiles on my innocent face
[Did you forget me?]
I only wanted to be loved
I only wanted to be in love
[Scream these words to me]
If imperfections are illegal
Then you should call the cops
And they should lock me up
You're such a slave to the crying game
[Scream these words to me]
We'll die alone
Could you love a face
Full of tears soaked in song?
I can't decide...
I don't know if its worse to live or die
I am stuck on "never enough"
And the corner of "never again"
Here is a hint - don't call someone
Who just sits by the phone
Leave them alone
I loved the first few days
But its not fun playing a game
You always lose
I couldn't talk to save my life
I couldn't talk to save my life
