Skin - Comfort of Strangers

you're a good girl, though i stink of bad
i need this i need him i need her i need everybody, why
but you're my best friend,
you slide beneath my shadow, pretty young skin
you're my cool friend, the only one i would ever truly live

and as the day ends and the night begins
this big city lights come like stars that don't shine right
as all of us depend on love from those above
that comfort, the comfort of strangers

listen, i love you
wait too much, wait too much, wait too much
i can't wallow in your reckless restless hair
slave to all things useful to you
you are a dream to me
i can't recall your name your face your smell your days your mouth
even i was kindling, but not now

and as the day ends and the night begins
this big city lights come like stars that don't shine right
as all of us depend on love from those above
that's comfort, the comfort of strangers

i say i don't want to hurt you, but really i do
i want to caress you like no girl before then
leave your coat, hey you listen
i said that i loved you, and really i'm entered to
i try to keep some semblance of feeling trapped beneath this??

and as the day ends and the night begins
this big city lights come like stars that don't shine right
a lot of us depend on love from those above
that comfort, the comfort of strangers

you are a dream to me
you you you you you are a dream
i don't want to hurt you
no, i don't want to hurt you
mmm but i don't want to hurt you
i i i said i loved you

i need the comfort
of strangers
