Salvation Song Lyrics - Steve Poltz

Neon lights outside my pool hall 

Rain is comin' down in spoon fulls 

Mixes in with tears from my eyes 

I've been standin' here for hours 

Paper bag for my umbrella 

Won't you come back to your soggy fella? 

Watchin' people passin' by me 

I got nowhere else to go 

And I know, you could be miles from me 

Just a sailin' through these flooded streets 

I wash the sin right off my skin 

And you will have me back again 

Diesel bus fumes got me chokin' 

Police man standin' above me pokin' 

Wake up from my sidewalk Hilton 

I got nowhere else to go 

Neon sport coat gets me groovin' 

Your long gone daddy is slowly movin' 

A wrinkled picture in my wallet 

I could stare at you for hours 

And I know, you could be miles from me 

Just a sailin' through these flooded streets 

I wash the sin right off my skin 

And you will have me back again 

And I'll be floatin' up to heaven 

With dice in my hands rollin' sevens 

Lost in your arms 

And salvation will be ours 

Neon lights outside my pool hall 

Rain is comin' down in spoon fulls 

Mixes in with tears from my eyes 

I've been standin' here for hours
