Well I guess by the blood stain of your lips
And the wonder of your finger tips
I should prove true to my emptiness
And stay hereWell, I'm just a kid of ill repute
But the skin I wear's my only suit
And you, you're just a substitute
For the one that I hold dearYou know you could be anyone
God forgive my tasteless tongue
I never should've been set freeI cut my eyes, I skin my face
Makes 'em how to be replaced
That's how we deal with boys like me
But I guess by this world so sick with loss
And your services so free of cost
I should climb down off my rugged cross
And lay with youBut you know by know it's half past late
And I only came here for escape
And you, you're just my next mistake
Like me to youYou know you could be anyone
God forgive your unborn sons
I hope they don't end up like meI drag my mind through streets of shame
Blame myself, forgive the game
That's how we deal with boys like meBut despite what you've been told
I once had a soul
Left somewhere behind
A former friend of mine
And I hate to speak so free
But you mean nothing to me
So, if the street lights they shine bright
I'll be home tonightI guess by the dim light in your eyes
And that to you all things come as a surprise
I should set the steel trap of your thighs
And dive right inBut to you I'm just a confused child
Insecure or in denial
Go raise your robes, go have your trial
I'll let you winYou know I could be anyone
God forgive what I should have done
My thoughts enough to guilty beYes, I guess I made this bed
But I'll take the sidewalk instead
That's how we deal with boys like meBut despite what you've been told
I once had a soul
Left somewhere behind
A former friend of mineAnd I hate to sound so true
But I mean nothing to you
So, if the street lights, they shine bright
I'll be home tonight
