Venice Baby

I met you by the boardwalk
Somewhere of the broken air
You had liquor on your lips
In a garden somewhere
You said, honey, don't be scared
I'm just a man who loves too hard
I believed you like
I believe in the stars
You took me to the motel
With the neon cross outside
Said your father was a preacher
But your mother never cried
You're my
Venice, baby
Dangerous and slow
You kiss me like a movie
Then you leave me in the snow
You're my
Venice, baby
I know you'll be the death of me but
God, I love the way
You say my name so recklessly
I wear your leather jacket
Even when the summer burns
I like the way it smells
Like gasoline and hurt
You called me from the payphone
Said you're somewhere on the run
I wait for you like sunday
For a shotgun
You took me through the river
Said we'll drive until we die
I put my hand upon your chest
And swore
I saw the light
You're my limit, baby
Dangerous and slow
You kiss me like a movie
Then you leave me in the snow
You're my business, baby
I know you'll be the death of me but
God, I love the way
You say my name so recklessly, yeah
I know how this ends
I've read it before
A girl like me, a boy like you
A slam door but
I'll take the bruises
I'll take the fame
Being ruined by you
It's my kind of
American dream
You're my best, baby
Dangerous and slow
You kiss me like a moly
And you leave me in the snow
You're my balance, baby
You'll be the death of me but
God, I love the way
You say my name so recklessly
Pennis, baby
Say my name so recklessly
Pennis, baby
Say my name so recklessly
Pennis, baby
