The past and the future are at war with each other
and The present is the battleground
I saw you at a diner from my place behind the counter
You had an unlit cigarette hanging from your mouth, you said
Everyone is lusty and everyone is lonely
And everyone is begging for a change
Everyone′s together and everyone's connected
And everyone is married but nobody is loyal
You ordered for yourself and also someone else
The mystery man never arrived
So I sat with you a minute, you held your breath until you left
Then you gasped and said what a thrill to be alive
When everyone is happy and everyone is horny
And everyone is sadder than a pet cemetery
And everyone is sappy and everyone′s a cynic
And everyone is terrified 'cause everyone is scary
I wanna go home with you
I wanna go home with you
And it's true, I'd do anything in my power for an hour or two
With a nightmare and a tight pair of shoes
I wanna go home with you
And we're cying in our costumes after hours at my workplace
Hoping that the boss doesn't crucify and burn me
I know I'm not the silver, but I could be the third place
I′ve got plenty of positions hidden up my shirtsleeve
And everyone is dying and everyone is humping
And everyone is trying to escape this infodumping
Everyone trying to escape this mortal coil
And everyone's the plant, and everyone′s the soil
And we're carried in a coffin as the brass band plays a fanfare
Like a famous person's deadname: forever in the zeitgeist
Your mother says my mother is a monster and my mother says
Your mother is a monster, but I think they′re both quite nice
And everyone is lacking and everyone is bursting
With potential and self loathing, we're all hungry, we're all thirsty
And everyone's a hero in someone else′s shoes
And we'll all live forever and orgy in Valhalla
and I wanna go home with you
I wanna go home with you
And it's true, I'd do anything in my power for an hour or two
With a nightmare and a tight pair of shoes
I wanna go home with you
Me, I′m Davy Crockett, and you, you're Betty Boop
And I′m just grinding coffee in a military loop
and Maybe I'm a bird, maybe I′m a plane
Maybe I'm too serious, maybe I'm Bruce Wayne
And everyone is coming and everyone is going
To the party up in Harlem, to which you were not invited
Now I'm thinking back, like what the hell did I do?
To deserve this disrespect, to deserve this broken septum
I'm drunk and stoned and hungry and easily convincible
That I could lift a hundred tons, that I am half invincible
I got shoes on my feet, and a song in my heart
And skin on my bones and blood in my mouth
And everyone is spiteful and everyone's a sweetheart
And everyone's a fan of Britney Spears and Captain Beef Heart
And everyone′s got secrets hidden deep inside their throats
We're all sinking, we′re swimming, we're face-down and afloat
And I wanna go home with you
I, I, I, I wanna go home with you
And it's true, I'd do anything in my power for an hour or two
With a nightmare and a tight pair of shoes
I wanna go home with you
This part of town is cold and exciting
So I try to wear my good heart, I try to do that right thing
The past and the future are at war with each other
My hands on your throat, are we kissing or fighting?
Are we kissing or fighting?
Are we kissing or fighting?
Are we kissing or fighting?
Are we kissing or fighting?
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh
Ahhha, ahhhh, ahhhhh, yeahhh, ha
I wanna go home with you
I wanna go home with you
I wanna go home with you
I wanna go home with you
I wanna go home with you
I wanna go home with
