[Verse 1]
Love me
I'm cheap to rent
You could tell me
Of when you were young
Forgive and forget
The rhythm of the evening
Will tear us apart again

[Verse 2]
Talk talk
I only talk
"Don't tell me lies"
Said the tick tock man
You're black
You're white
The rhythm of the evening
Will tear you apart again

[Verse 3]
Is this my mother?
Pieces of a picture
But I've seen them before
Look what love's done to me
The rhythm of the evening
Will tear me apart again

[Verse 4]
Let the wild
Come in
These boys of pleasure
Are nothing more than faggots
I'm not a
Man who laughs but
The rhythm of the evening
Will tear them apart again
