Ill-Lit Ships

They’re coming out to find you
And they don’t even know your name.
No matter what they tell you,
You never will be clean again.
So lie to us and just say
That there’s never emotion in all that you give away.

They’re coming out to find you
And they won’t even ask your name.
But they will recognize you.
Girls like you are all the same.

So you say,
This room is just for one night.
But they never will let you go.
Just let them come inside
And this never will let you go.
No, it never will let you go.
As you smile it hurts me so
That this never will let you go.

Just what was looking for you?
Do you like what they have found?
Two nights are now behind you
And you can even live one down.
So smile at me and just say
That it’s worth every breakdown.
Those strange do not know
When you wake,
We’ll awake beside you.
I’ll be the last to know your name.
I’ll be the last to want to
Be seen with you in light of day.

Didn’t you say
This room is just for one night?
But they never will let you go.
Just let them come inside
And this never will let you go.
No, it never will let you go.
As you smile it hurts me so.

As you smile it hurts me.
Oh, your smile, it hurts me
‘Cause I still clearly can see
Who you are.

How could you let them buy you?
How could you let them buy you?
How could you let them buy you?
Why did you let them?

This room is just for one night.
But they never will let you go.
Just let them come inside
And you’ll never forget this.

This room is just for one night.
But they never will let you go.
Just close those hopeful eyes
And this never will let you go.
No, it never will let you go.
As you smile it hurts me so
That this never will let you go.
No, it never will let you…
