Talk To Strangers

(album: French Exit - 2014)

There's a beautiful girl
And a handsome guy
She's sitting all alone
He's giving her the eye

They approach one another
They don't realize the danger

What will they say
What do you think
She'll crack another smile
He'll buy another drink

That isn't the important part
That happens later

You should have listened to your mother
Don't ever talk to strangers

Lust turns to boredom
Boredom turns to lust
Diminishing returns
With each and every thrust

The energy's preserved
Just converted into anger

Don't take candy
Don't get in someone's car
Don't let anybody touch you
No matter who they are

The police are at your door
Turns out the killer was your neighbor

He seemed like such a normal guy
A little quiet, nothing major

You should have listened to your mother
Don't ever talk to strangers
