Tough boys
Come over here
I want to bite and kiss you

Not a word is spoken

I wanna buy your leather
Make noise
Try and talk me away
We can't be seen together
Tough kids
What can I do?
I'm so pale and weedy
Rough fits
In my hush puppy shoes
But I'm still pleadin'; bleedin',
 needin', fightin', winin', chimin'
