The Shining

Falling out of nowhere
Calling out your number
Books beside the bed just where you lay your head
Man behind the counter
Drinking limonata
Looks me in the eye before he turns away
Time makes every man a mess to save
Knocking on the same old doors and running away
Climbing up the fire escape
And I carry my mistakes so well
Oh well (well, well)

Cigarettes and coffee
Is all you have to give me
Sitting in the lobby on my own
Come and look right at me
Say what you have for me
Faces in the curtains watching every move we make
Speaking to the red phone
Thinking of the ride home
Standing in the shower with the water running cold
Sit and watch the shining
With just the kitchen light on

They say, time makes every man a mess to save
Knocking on the same old doors and running away
Climbing up the fire escape
'Cause I have nowhere to run
Oh no
Oh no (oh-oh)
