[Verse 1]
Now there's a girl outside my door
She's raw pink shame
She makes love as the machines play
Sound effects of mayhem
She disconnects my young heart at times
The cure comes next

[Chorus]
Here am I
Sad and lonely
Here am I
Quite by chance I slide

[Verse 2]
She has the problem of need
Not conversation
She can only whisper such things
Like "I tear inside"
She's like a gangster in drag I knew
Skin like china

[Chorus]
Here am I
Sad and lonely
Here am I
Quite by chance I slide

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Here am I
Sad and lonely
Here am I
Quite by chance I slide

Here am I
Sad and lonely
Here am I
Quite by chance I slide
