Lamplight Motel

I look out at the sun
I’m wasting light
I’m now beyond getting hurt
Blue lines and cold tile
And you’ll make it alone, Candy girl
You’re a workhorse for this world
Dream of the Lamplight sign in the window carrying you
And it’d be wrong to return
Breathing beside you
No, no, no

I look out at ten guards
Keepin a casual peace
In their sworn glory
Every man needs a way out, a way out
And you’ll make it real, won’t you in the right places
Laugh it off if it gets too painful
Dream of the Lamplight sign in the window carrying you
And it’d be wrong to return
Ooh, no no no no no

I look out at the sun
I’m wasting light
