The street light crawls into a bare bulb hotel
|
Where dead eyes shine there's a story to tell
|
It's a life of crime on a bed of stone
|
When the devil calls you're better off alone
|
|
Chorus:
|
And now I'm hiding from the light, running from my destiny
|
Haunted by a flame, lying low, livin' on a memory
|
|
The bugs still bite and the breezes blow
|
Between your dreams right through your clothes
|
The days roll by like cars on a train
|
And the August sky still looks like rain
|
|
chorus
|
|
Haunted by a dream, I can't escape this reverie
|
Trying to break away, lying low, livin' on a memory
|
|
I'll be walking behind you, I'm a face on the wind
|
I'll be watchin', still payin' for my sins
|
|
I'm drifting down the river so slow
|
As the lights of town are beginning to glow
|
|
chorus
|
|
Haunted by a dream, I can't escape from this reverie
|
Trying to break away, lying low, livin' on a memory...
