Sorry the "Bright Eyes" should have been put at the bottom.  That's who it's by.

  Bright Eyes
  I picked you out of a crowd and talked to you.

  I said, "I like your shoes."
  You said, "Thanks can I follow you?"
  So it's up the stairs and out of view-
  No prying eyes
  I poured some wine
  I asked your name, you asked the time...
  Now it's two o'clock-
  the club is closed and we're up the block
  Your hands on me; pressing hard against your jeans
  Your tongue in my mouth, trying to keep the words from coming out
  You didn't care to know who else may have been you before

  I want a lover I don't have to love.
  I want a girl who's too sad to give a fuck.
  Where is the kid with the chemicals?
  I thought he said to meet him here, but I'm not sure
  I got the money if you've got the time

  You said, "It feels good."
  I said, "I'll give it a try."

  Then my mind went dark-
  we both forgot where your car was parked
  Let's just take the train
  I'll meet up with the band in the morning
  Bad actors with bad habits
  Some sad singers they just play tragic
  and the phone's ringing and the van's leaving
  Let's just keep touching; let's just keep, keep singing...

  I want a lover I don't have to love
  I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk
  Where is the kid with the chemicals
  I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full
  I need some meaning I can memorize
  The kind I have always seem to slip my mind

  But you..
  But you...
  you write
  such pretty words
  But life's no storybook
  Love's an excuse to get hurt
  and to hurt

  Do you like to hurt?
  I do, I do
  then hurt me..
  then hurt me...
  then hurt me...
