We're The Pet Shop Boys

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 heartWe're the Pet Shop Boys

We're the Pet Shop BoysEvery 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 knowWe're the Pet Shop Boys

We're the Pet Shop BoysRent

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
