Red line motel

The phone keeps ringing But nobody speaks Red light bleeding Through the motel sheets One more number One more name One more reason To forget my face Midnight city with a broken smile White lines shaking for another mile I see my shadow in the window glass Moving too fast from a slower past Cheap perfume in the hallway air Someone laughs but there’s no one there I count the exits, I kill the light I tell myself I’m clean tonight And the walls say run And the floor says stay And the mirror knows What I threw away I hear my heart Like a loaded drum I close my eyes But the night still comes Red line motel Red light in my eyes I don’t know myself When the city comes alive Drive, drive, don’t look back Cold hands on the wheel Red line motel Tell me this is real Red line motel Heart like broken steel I came here to forget But I came here just to feel Run it back Run it back Run it back Till the lights go black Run it back Run it back Run it back Till I fade off track There’s a stain on the carpet I don’t explain There’s a song in my head like electric rain Every door has a number, every number lies Every saint in the painting has empty eyes I keep moving like a machine Half awake in a violent dream No salvation in the rearview glow Just another place I shouldn’t go Don’t ask me where I’ve been Don’t ask me what I saw Some nights don’t end They just wait in the wall The elevator hums The hallway bends I hear my name But it’s not my friend Red line motel Red light in my eyes I don’t know myself When the city comes alive Drive, drive, don’t look back Cold hands on the wheel Red line motel Tell me this is real Red line motel Heart like broken steel I came here to forget But I came here just to feel The phone keeps ringing But nobody speaks Red light bleeding Through the motel sheets Red line motel Red line motel Red line motel…
