[Intro]
All I want
All I want
All I want
[Verse 1]
I took her down into the back room where I told her
That I was lying when I told her that I loved her
I hadn't meant it, it was just to get a few names
And I'd be leaving in the morning on the first train
[Pre-Chorus]
My heart is ugly, but her eyes were lovely
[Chorus]
All I want is to ride the platform
All I want's not to settle down
All I want is to live the fast lane
I don't really care if it all falls down
[Verse 2]
She walked me down to say goodbye in the doorway
And held me closer to her body as the shots rang
She didn't mean it, it was just about a pay day
And I was nothing to her but another blood stain
[Pre-Chorus]
My heart looked ugly, lying in a sunbeam
[Chorus]
All I want is to ride the platform
All I want's not to settle down
All I want is to live the fast lane
I don't really care
Oh, I don't really care if it all, all, all falls down
[Bridge]
My heart looked ugly, exposed by a sunbeam
[Chorus]
All I want is to ride the platform
All I want's not to settle down
All I want is to live the fast lane
I don't really care
Oh, I don't really care
I don't really care
Oh, I don't really care if it all, if it all falls down
[Outro]
All I want
All I want
All I want
