Bad Guys

(And now, ladies and gentlemen)
(Boys and girls)
(Please, welcome our very, very special guest stars)
(Mr. Douglas Stewart)
(And Mr. Guille Milkyway)

You go so fast
Without a chance for me to say goodbye
It's long ago you stopped looking
At me in the eye as we walk side by side

How can it last?
With such a deadbeat heart as mine, could it last?
Someone hiding his own sadness
Dancing pain away all through the night

For a while I've been wondering, wondering back
To those times and those Fridays when you had to meet up
To the days when you wanted to be part of my life
Makes no sense now
Without you I struggle to get by

Why does it have to be about the bad guys?
And those ones that, reckless types, yeah
Those ones that never bat an eyelid when they check you out
As they sip their Coca-Cola, the ones who honk too loud
Don't you see their phony thoughtlessness?
The way they'll laugh in the end?

You'll have them all anytime
You're not into us
Why you go so fast?
It's unjust
We're hardly getting to start now

And I'd been hoping I could ask you out
To roller skate
To bowl 'til late
And bake a cake now

Say, who would die?
Give up your life to kiss your lips one more time?
Despite the fact you've got an arctic heart
And a neoromantic countenance

How can it last?
With someone bound to lose it in every club?
Someone so static on the one hand
And such a drama queen from time to time

For a while I've been letting you out of my mind
Started praying you'd sink in the sea and get lost
With the monster who'll soon take the place I once had
I don't love you
I don't think I'll love you more like that

And even though it has to be the bad guys
And the ones that will break your heart, yeah
Tonight I'm gonna go out, try to get over it
Hide my memories of you where they can be well kept
Oh, you're way out of my dreams but I have never felt this good

And tonight I'll dance among the bad guys
And I'll leave them all hypnotized, yeah
