It's the bed smell in a motel. From the nights that came before. Or when I can't tell what my money's paying for. Out of style or apropos. Run down or up to code.
Kyle is a cashier in the corner village store. Seven days a week he works. Just pushing on a cash drawer. The gambling debts and empty bets. Have chained him to this place.
Honey I've gone all out. And I've been broken in. And when it pours on me. I can soak it all in. . I'm alive. And my blood is pumping like a gas line.
You don't know, but you're on my radio. I hear you singing every day. All across these radio waves. . The second half of this record is scratched. But it still plays 'cause every song.
You might be sleeping when he calls. You might be dreamin' that you're in control. (no, no, no, no). He's only keeping you around 'cause. You keep on, you keep on.
My job is done for now at least. My calendar is filled with vacancies. In the days ahead I'm looking to. I've done all that's been asked of me to do. So honey, now I'm through.
Hey Mister, Mister you can have my day. But you better leave my nights alone. I'm leaving in the evening and then I'll be going home. Hey Mister, Mister you can have my pay.
I got a feeling, it's in a moment. I want to keep it, but it's always fleeting. 'Cause when I'm dealing, with the present. It never lasts long, and I can never keep it.
This modern age. Fast moving, loud and raw. This modern age. Is tipping like a seesaw. It's a challenge of balance for people. Play safe, low-risk, be happy.
I said an old time speaker just blew my mind. It's so Lo-Fi. That crackle sizzles my soul. And I just fell in love with a 45. That I kept alive, in a box over 30 years old.
I don't really know you. But I hope we can relate. Oh.... I like to be excited. And I like to celebrate. Oh.... Oh...I'm asking you. . [Chorus:]. If you're feeling good.
It's been quiet for a while. Now there's something making noises. It's growing and it's closing in. It's time to make some choices. . To stop or keep it going.
Hold it down. Don't let it go and slip through your fingers now. And it's today's routine. That pushes us around. . So grin and bear it. 'Cause nothing's gonna change if we always wear this.
I'll stay for a moment. Or hang for a while. You tell me what you want to. Stay here or walk for miles. . [Chorus:]. I could be hard or I could be weak.
"Give up, go home". My favorite words to hear. Go on, throw stones. At me to keep for souvenirs. . 'Cause I got no problem. With problems of people doubting me.
She shines and she radiates. With true glow, oh so honest. More than she knows. Herself she underrates. . With a bell and a whistle she decorates. To bring out less doubt.
Smoke in the sky and fire in the air. Desire burns between them. One big push is gonna get you there. Takes a stronger eye to see them. When you see it in front of you.
Stumble in, fight the spin. If you don't you're falling on your face again. Tumble down, roll around. You know that everything is moving now. Lately I, can't decide, run or hide.
Meet me by the river when the sun's going down. Make a little fire pass a bottle 'round. Ain't no path, so follow all the sounds. Oh I'll see you down there.
I can't do this no more. Pulling myself up off the floor. And if I'm not plugged in, you're not coming in. 'Cause I don't need another chore to do. I'm an analog man with a digital case of you.
