Did you... think you were the only one that's been let down?
So, sleep tight little boys of the new damned
Another drop in the tidal wave of quicksand
Now I send back letters from the wasteland home
Where I slowdance to this romance on my own
It may take two to tango
But boy, it's one to let go
Now another bad idea gets through
Down the assembly line to you
You're every bridge I should have burned
Every lesson I've unlearned
In this smoke-filled waiting room
With incarcerated love sick fools
I will wait for you to cut me loose
But 'till then I'll...
Send back letters from wasteland home
Where I slowdance to this romance on my own
Now I send back letters from the wasteland home
From where I slowdance to this romance on my own
