Lyrics
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh,
Mm-mm, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
Come on, come on.
I hope you remember me like this,
Smokin' cigarettes in my sundress,
Glamorous and gangtsa, oh yes.
(My battle lines look like paradise, next to you).
I hope I remember you just like that,
Lookin' fresh to death in your ball cap.
You say you'll tap it like a hi-hat.
(Your stupid lines, they're like diamond mines).
The future's lookin' bright as black tonight,
You tell me that our love cannot endure.
Baby, if it's wrong I don't wanna be right,
Oh, I don't know a thing, but this I'm sure.
There's nowhere on this Earth I would rather be,
Than in your bedroom breathin' heavily.
The way you're smilin', it's so deadly,
Honey, you are heavenly, t-television heaven with you.
Swingin' in New York to Nirvana songs,
With nothin' but that t-t-television on.
We're kissin' in the dark, in my diamonds,
Put that MT-TV on, t-television heaven with you.
I wonder if you'll think of me like this,
On your fire escape like a hot mess.
You say "you're beautiful, but hopeless,"
("Come on inside, oh, you crazy child, look at you").
I promise that I'll think of you as the king,
Quotin' Corleone, like you're so mean.
It's Cosa Nostra 'cause it's our thing,
(I made you mine like, a thousand times).
Lucy's in the sky with ice tonight,
Heaven knows, I've tried how to find a cure.
Baby, if it's wrong I don't wanna be right,
And if you ask again, I'll say "I'm sure."
There's nowhere on this Earth I would rather be,
Than in your bedroom breathin' heavily.
The way you're smilin', it's so deadly,
Honey, you are heavenly, t-television heaven with you.
Swingin' in New York to Nirvana songs,
With nothin' but that t-t-television on.
We're kissin' in the dark, in my diamonds,
Put that MT-TV on, t-television heaven with you.
Stay up tonight, turn out the light,
It feels so right, baby, you're a vision in blues.
Stay up tonight, turn out the light,
It feels so right, watchin' television with you.
There's nowhere on this Earth I would rather be,
Than in your bedroom breathin' heavily.
The way you're smilin', it's so deadly,
Honey, you are heavenly, t-television heaven with you.
Swingin' in New York to Nirvana songs,
With nothin' but that t-t-television on.
We're kissin' in the dark, in my diamonds,
Put that MT-TV on, t-television heaven with you.
