Track Insight / Lyrics
Neon hummin' a lonely tune
Coffee stain beneath the moon
Another night, the same old view
Just countin' steps, me and you.
Anchor's heavy in my soul
Each footstep takes its toll
Parking lot's a concrete sea
Watchin' headlights passin' me.
Room six empty, curtains drawn
Another traveler quickly gone
Lost a lover, lost a name
Just the flicker of a dying flame.
Motel ghosts are walkin' slow
Every shadow seems to know
Where the heartache hides away
At the edge of yesterday.
Chrome is gleamin' in the haze
Another lost and lonely phase
Truck stop waitress, tired and worn
Wishin' she had never been born.
Rain is fallin' on the glass
Memories movin' way too fast
Every stranger's got a plea
Lost directions, lost at sea.
Motel ghosts are walkin' slow
Every shadow seems to know
Where the heartache hides away
At the edge of yesterday.
Iron weight beneath my feet
This rhythm's bitter, bittersweet
Each repeat a weary sigh
Watchin' broken dreams drift by.
Old man sittin' by the door
He's seen it all and asked for more
Empty bottles, faded signs
Lost connections, tangled lines.
Motel ghosts are walkin' slow
Every shadow seems to know
Where the heartache hides away
At the edge of yesterday.
Motel ghosts are walkin' slow
Every shadow seems to know
Where the heartache hides away
At the edge of yesterday.
(Yeah, yesterday…)
Just countin' steps, one by one
'Til the risin' of the sun
Coffee's cold, the night is through
Motel ghosts and me and you.
