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
