lyrics

dressed to kill, it's hard to catch a thrill
but as you always like to say, if we don't, then who will?
chills every time you touch my wrist
hell can't be half as cool as this
i say that we look famous, you say that we are
even the moon is not so vain, but then the moon has scars
you shine in the darkness, more beautiful than bollywood stars
oo

all pretend, introduce me as your friend
that's not the way you put it in those late nite texts that you send
you don't need to explain yourself
go on and dance with someone else
i'll just hang here, it's more fun to watch from afar
camera pans from the lonely girl who's drinking at the bar
to our heroine as she winks and spins, dancing like bollywood stars
oo

you'll marry someone your parents would approve of
the wedding guests will drink a toast to true love
and in the gutters of calcutta, shell-shocked and bereft
i'll be shouting i object as i drink myself to death

call a car, before things go too far
never meant to ruin your fun with some maudlin dtr
you'll call me in a day or so
you're sorry, i already know
but i'll let it go, cause apparently that's who we are
it drives me almost to despair, this love of ours
we'll see our names in the halls of fame with the romances of bollywood stars
oo
