New Romantics

We're all bored

We're all so tired of everything

We wait for trains that just aren't coming

We show off our different scarlet letters

Trust me, mine is better

We're so young

But we're on the road to ruin

We play dumb but we know exactly what we're doin'

We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom

Honey, life is just a classroom

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

'Cause baby, I could build a castle

Out of all the bricks they threw at me

And every day is like a battle

But every night with us is like a dream

Baby, we're the new romantics

Come on, come along with me

Heartbreak is the national anthem

We sing it proudly

We are too busy dancing

To get knocked off our feet

Baby, we're the new romantics

The best people in life are free

We're all here

The lights and noise are blinding

We hang back

It's all in the timing

It's poker

He can't see it in my face

But I'm about to play my Ace

We need love

But all we want is danger

We team up

Then switch sides like a record changer

The rumors are terrible and cruel

But honey, most of them are true

'Cause baby, I could build a castle

Out of all the bricks they threw at me

And every day is like a battle

But every night with us is like a dream

Baby, we're the new romantics

Come on, come along with me

Heartbreak is the national anthem

We sing it proudly

We are too busy dancing

To get knocked off our feet

Baby, we're the new romantics

The best people in life are free

Oh-oh

So, come on, come along with me

The best people in life are free

Please take my hand and

Please take me dancing, and

Please leave me stranded

It's so romantic

Oh, 'cause baby, I could build a castle

Out of all the bricks they threw at me

And every day is like a battle

But every night with us is like a dream

'Cause baby, I could build a castle

Out of all the bricks they threw at me

And every day is like a battle

But every night with us is like a dream

Baby, we're the new romantics

Come on, come along with me

Heartbreak is the national anthem

We sing it proudly

We are too busy dancing

To get knocked off our feet

Baby, we're the new romantics

The best people in life are free
