Put on your makeup and take off your dress
Lay down beside me and hide from the loneliness
One in million men we both know I'm not
But will you try to pretend that I'm all you've got
My mother died in our home my father he died at work
And we said we'd never become what we always we were
Destined to stay in this town while the world around us flew
Farther and farther away like a lost balloon
But still we come out at night, reaching for somebody's love
Counting our tokens and hoping that we've found enough
But still we've got mouths to feed, so everyone back to your post
'Cause the day is breaking and we can't afford
To go broke
We're going broke
There's a path worn from bed to the door
And out to my car in the street
I'm trying not to fall through the cracks
So I drag my feet
And the coffee that lights up my day
Is stronger than it's supposed to be
That warm, true, reliable taste of erasing dreams
But still we come out at night, reaching for somebody's love
Counting our tokens and hoping that we've found enough
But still we've got mouths to feed
So everyone back to your post
'Cause the day is breaking and we can't afford
To go broke
All the years gone, together alone
All of our problems the same
Can't we give up on getting it right
Or trying to give it a name
No still we come out at night
Reaching for somebody's love
Counting our tokens and hoping that we've found enough
Oh still we've got mouths to feed
So everyone back to your post
'Cause the day is breaking and we can't afford
To go broke
We're going broke
So just put on your makeup and take off your dress
Lay down beside me and hide from the loneliness
