The cutest couple in the halls of Hell, well

She was smoking with her friends

Exhale nicotine and breathe me in

Black denim under pale moonlight

Underneath the teenage spell, well

Hopelessly beautiful in 1988

She's my cyanide

I drink her every night

I drink her every night

And modern love can feel like suicide

She's cold but still I burn, ah

In a gin and tonic trance

We know sobriety won't teach the kids to dance

So we drive until the road (Runs out)

We count our sins beneath the sun

We know no one forgives the fugitives of Heaven
