TELL YOU A STORY 'BOUT A FRIEND OF MINE'
WOKE UP IN THIS ROOM, LOOKED LIKE...
BLACK AND WHITE MOVIES, NO LIGHT
AND SOMEONE STRANGE IN THE BED
SHE SAID "YOU COULD BE HERE FOREVER"

"CAN YOU FEEL ME I'M THE NEW DISEASE
I'M LIKE A HUNGER THAT YOU'VE NEVER KNOWN
DO YOU WANT ME? I'LL TAKE EVERYTHING
I'M LIKE A HUNGER THAT YOU'VE NEVER KNOWN
DO YOU WANT ME? I'LL TAKE EVERYTHING
I'M LIKE A HUNGER LYING IN YOUR HEART"

HE MADE EXCUSES, TRIED TO LEAVE THE ROOM
SHE SAID "I'M THE DISEASE AND THE CURE
SKIN MECHANICS COULDN'T HELP YOU HERE
THE NATURE OF NEED LEAVES YOU JUNK SICK
AND LONELY"

"TRICK IT UP, TRICK IT UP GOOD"
SHE MOVED LIKE A GHOST TO THE DOOR SHE SAID
"THIS IS A RE-AL LOVE STORY"
I HEARD HIS VOICE AND WALKED IN ON IT ALL
SHE SAID "YOU COULD BE HERE FOREVER"
