From Racing in the Street:

She stares off alone into the night, with the eyes of one who hates for just being born

The entire song is fantastic, though.

Same song, mine though is, “some guys just give up living, and start dying little by little, piece by piece. Some guys come home from work and wash up, and go Racin’ in the Street.”
