Lyrics The Magnetic Fields

The Magnetic Fields

Rats in the Garbage of the Western World

this is the darkest place I've ever been

but I like what little of you I've seen

you stepped out of the TV screen

and into my most personal dreams

I don't want to go home with you

but the TV tells me what to do

I don't want to fall in love with you

but I've been conditioned to

we are the rats in the garbage of the western world

we are the rats in the garbage of the western world

we are the rats in the garbage of the western world

so let's dance!

I wouldn't look twice if I were sober enough

but I can tell you're a diamond in the rough

the way you don't talk and the way you don't walk

just like a model

I know this is gonna be love

in a place like this with a boy like you

anything could happen if you want it to

I want to shoot you and hang you on my wall

but there's no film in my Polaroid

we are the rats in the garbage of the western world

we are the rats in the garbage of the western world

we are the rats in the garbage of the western world

so let's dance!

we are the rats in the garbage of the western world

we are the rats in the garbage of the western world

we are the rats in the garbage of the western world

so let's dance!
