Maybe In The Dark

The Crookes

Maybe it's just cheap easy lust with chemicals 
We're dirt forever 
Maybe we're blessed

I'll rip your dress, you pull my hair 
Now we'll leave together 
Maybe you're young 
I'll bite your tongue, your lip will bleed 
We're trash forever 

Maybe you're right
Just for tonight 
Your clumsy kiss won't taste so clever 
And all I need is a substitute 
Maybe in the dark she'll look enough like you 

I'll take the shame 
Lust to blame 
What if we ever meet again?
I'll know your face, not your name
But we'll know

Maybe I'll find pleasure tonight with chemicals 
I'll hardly miss her
Maybe you wear clothes like she wears 
Same coloured hair 
I'm sick forever 

And all I need is a substitute 
Maybe in the dark she'll look enough like you 

I'll take the shame 
Lust to blame 
What if we ever meet again?
I'll know your face, not your name
But we'll know

Our eyes were bright 
Out of sight 
Two strangers caught behind the night 
You're the perfect second best 

Now every time I see your ghost
Now every time I see your ghost
You're the perfect second best

I'll take the shame 
Lust to blame 
What if we ever meet again?
I'll know your face, not your name
But we'll know

Our eyes were bright 
Out of sight 
Two strangers caught behind the night 
You're the perfect second best 

Oh, you're the perfect second best.
