In rented rooms and (18)______________ places
All the people I was kissing
Some are here and some are missing
In the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt that I would get to be
The creature that I always meant to be
But I thought in spite of dreams
You'd be sitting somewhere here (19)________ me
'Cause we (20)________ never being boring
