lyrics

Rented Rooms

Freakin’, freakin’
Yea I’m faded
The time will come
Kissin them walls
And my friends don’t mind
God gave the secrets
And he left them in rented rooms
All my friends watch me take her down
Halfway to madness
Into my arms
Ain’t it easy

To rely on
Someone else to filter the pain
Somewhere I can shake free the shame
It was many years ago
Had I been stronger I would’ve seen
The mineral facts, the material joys
The handshake cash that every truth employs
I ain’t no cheap bunco, but I fleeced a few
In the beginning
In the incredible light

I been workin, workin
Yea, I’m hungry!
I take down four lines
Forty eyes in the back of your head
And I always go in wild, wild
All my friends watch me take her down
Halfway to madness, into my arms
Ain’t it easy

To rely on
Someone else to filter the pain
Somewhere I can shake free the shame
It was many years ago
Had I been stronger I would’ve seen
The mineral facts, the material joys
The handshake cash that every truth employs
I ain’t no cheap bunco, but I fleeced a few
In the beginning
No I, I ain’t no rebel
I just know what it takes
No I, I ain’t no rebel
I just know what it takes

HESS New York, New York

HESS (of NYC rock & roll powerhouse Mail the Horse) was born in the same town as Springsteen, Long Branch, NJ, and with Lamplight Motel, has crafted a fully-realized portrait of life and death on the New Jersey coast—equally beautiful, seedy, and forlorn—all built upon dreamy layers of warm, vintage synthesizers, punchy electronic percussion and soulful, R&B-inspired vocals. ... more
