Give Up The Sun Lyrics - The Gun Club

My hotel is blue, beautiful ocean blue 

Paint melting off the walls 

And I can hardly breathe 

And young men nod against the palms 

Turn blue and fail to breathe 

But I came here to see 

So, give up the sun, give up the sun 

One hundred thousand times 

I live just once to hear you say 

Give up the sun, give up the sun 

Down along the beach line 

Gulls pick at bones and glass 

Old Jew remembers Broadway 

Along the tires and glass 

I try to remember Broadway 

I had a friend up there at last 

But she can't help me now 

So, give up the sun, give up the sun 

One hundred thousand times 

I live just once to hear you say 

Give up the sun, give up the sun 

Give up the sun, give up the sun 

But out there, the sea makes love 

Waves pinwheel to the bay 

Oh, don't you leave me here 

There's ghosts and rooms of pain 

There's a storm out on the sea tonight 

Bodies filled with pain 

Palm wind across the sea tonight 

Black with whirling pain 

Alone against the docks tonight 

Nobody knows my name 

I can't go back again 

So, give up the sun, give up the sun 

One hundred thousand times 

I live just once to hear you say 

Give up the sun, give up the sun 

Give up the sun, give up the sun 

Give up the sun, give up the sun 

One hundred thousand times 

I live just once to hear you say 

Give up the sun, give up the sun 

Give up the sun, give up the sun 

Give it up, one hundred thousand times 

I live just once to hear you say 

Give up the sun, give up the sun 

Give up the sun, give up the sun 

Give up, one hundred thousand times 

Live just once to hear you say 

Give up the sun, give up the sun 

Give up the sun, give up the sun 

Give it up, one hundred thousand times
