|
Well the heat is so great |
|
It plays tricks with the eye |
|
It turns the road into water |
|
Then from water to sky |
|
And there's a crack in the concrete floor |
|
That starts at the sink |
|
Yea, there's a bathroom in the gas station |
|
And I've locked myself in it to think |
|
Back in the city |
|
The sun bakes the trash on the curb |
|
The men are pissing in doorways |
|
And the rats are running in herds |
|
And I've got a dream with your face in it |
|
That scares me awake |
|
I've put too much on my table |
|
Now I've got too much at stake |
|
And I might let you off easy |
|
Yea I might lead you on |
|
I might wait for you to look for me |
|
And then I might be gone |
|
There's where I've come from and where I'm going |
|
And I am lost in between |
|
I might go out to that phone booth |
|
And leave a veiled invitation on your machine |
|
And you'll stop me, won't you? |
|
If you've heard this one before |
|
Oh the one where I surprise you |
|
By showing up at your front door |
|
Saying, "Let's not ask what next |
|
or how or why |
|
I'm leaving in the morning |
|
So let's not be shy" |
|
Don't be shy |
|
The door opens, the room winces |
|
The housekeeper comes in without a warning |
|
And I squint at the muscular motel lady |
|
And say "Hey morning" |
|
As she jumps her keys jingle |
|
She leaves as quickly as she came in |
|
And I roll over and taste the pillow with my grin |
|
Well the sheets are twisted and damp |
|
But the heat is so great |
|
And I swear I can feel the mattress |
|
Sinking underneath your weight |
|
Boy your sleep is like a fever |
|
And I'm glad when it ends |
|
Oh the road flows like a river |
|
And it pulls me round every bend |
|
Stop me, won't you? |
|
If you've heard this one before |
|
Oh the one where I surprise you |
|
By showing up at your front door |
|
Saying, "Let's not ask what next |
|
or how or why |
|
I am leaving in the morning |
|
So let's not be shy" |
|
Don't be shy |
|
Well the heat is so great |
|

|

|

|

|

|
