We're The Pet Shop Boys

Suburbia's a slipstream

to a memory

of a time when you were

close to me

I pretend

I'm there again

I close my eyes and see you

better than before

then I feel you touch me

and it's 1984

I know what you will say

before you start

in my heart

We're the Pet Shop Boys

We're the Pet Shop Boys

Every thought's a fashion

or a crime

and every boy is just

a waste of time

but I pretend

it was different then

Maybe it's a habit

Maybe it's a sin

But I find out

when I try it on

it crawls beneath my skin

Once it gets inside me

it won't go

Now I know

We're the Pet Shop Boys

We're the Pet Shop Boys

Rent

Shopping

Being boring

It's alright

It's a sin

I'm not scared

In denial

I want a dog

I want a lover

Can you forgive her?

Do I have to?

What have I? What have I?

What have I done to deserve this?

We're the Pet Shop Boys

We're the Pet Shop Boys
