lyrics

I swear I just saw Freddie Mercury.
Oh but these days I’ve seen a lot of things.
I thought that I might never see.
Like that Unicorn on St. Denis.

We begged the landlord for another shot.
Either we’ll work it out or we will not.
Now I’m making phone calls when you’re fast asleep.
Borrowing money from your family.

CHORUS
Like out in front of that hotel down on St. Dennis.

Sometimes you think you know your friends.
You think they’ll be there for you where the sidewalk ends.
But no, they just wanna peel you to your underpants.
And then complain about their wedding plans.

CHORUS
Like in that bedroom up on eighteen street.

We’re all born into a world. It makes so little sense.
It’s like we’re begging for a attention from a razor wire fence.

I begged the liar for a magazine.
He dug one out it had a shot of me doing something I should not have been.
But I just had to try that on the trampoline.

CHORUS
Like you tucking in close to me.
