Rats in the Garbage of the Western World Lyrics

this is the darkest place I've ever been
but I like what little of you I've seen
you stepped out of the TV screen
and into my most personal dreams
I don't want to go home with you
but the TV tells me what to do
I don't want to fall in love with you
but I've been conditioned to

we are the rats in the garbage of the western world
we are the rats in the garbage of the western world
we are the rats in the garbage of the western world
so let's dance
I wouldn't look twice if I were sober enough
but I can tell you're a diamond in the rough
the way you don't talk and the way you don't walk
just like a model I know this is gonna be love

in a place like this with a boy like you
anything could happen if you want it to
I want to shoot you and hang you on my wall
but there's no film in my Polaroid
we are the rats in the garbage of the western world
we are the rats in the garbage of the western world
we are the rats in the garbage of the western world
so let's dance

we are the rats in the garbage of the western world
we are the rats in the garbage of the western world
we are the rats in the garbage of the western world
so let's dance
