[Verse 1] Got a tie in a plastic bag, got a name they can't pronounce Got a bus that runs to nowhere and a rent I can't announce There's a job at the end of Monday with a desk and a little door And a man who says he likes me, says he's seen my kind before [Pre-Chorus] And oh, oh, I'm dressed to burn And oh, oh, I never learn [Chorus] I'm twenty-three and counting, hands up in the neon rain Kiss me in the doorway, love, I'll never ask your name We were born for cheap perfume and Tuesdays going wrong So hold me while the night's still young, it's gone before it's gone [Verse 2] Got a girl with a borrowed coat who laughs like broken glass She says, Go on, tell me something clever, tell me something that will last And I've got nothing but a Friday and a mouth that runs too fast And a future in a folder that I'll open when I'm asked [Pre-Chorus] And oh, oh, she takes my hand And oh, oh, she understands [Chorus] I'm twenty-three and counting, hands up in the neon rain Kiss me in the doorway, love, I'll never ask your name We were born for cheap perfume and Tuesdays going wrong So hold me while the night's still young, it's gone before it's gone [Bridge] There's a suit on the back of the bedroom door And a boy who won't be sleeping anymore La la la, la la la Let the morning have me, let the morning have me [Final Chorus] I'm twenty-three and burning, standing in the neon rain Somebody's got to want
