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
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
And now I´m hiding from the light, running from my destiny Haunted by a flame, lying low, livin´ on a memory
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
And now I´m hiding from the light, running from my destiny Haunted by a flame, lying low, livin´ on a memory
Haunted by a dream, I can´t escape from this reverie Trying to break away, lying low, livin´ on a memory...
