Track Insight / Lyrics
Towels laid out
Soaked to the bone
Laundry wheels spinning
While I'm pacing the floor alone
Watch the covers rise and fall
I'm not leaving till they're all small
Get me out of here tonight
Before I lose my mind
Four walls closing in
The rain will wash it all from my skin
Rain falls on my motel roof
Glass-topped tables collecting the truth
Every word and every look
Imprinted like smudged lipstick, oh oh
Rain falls on my motel room
Drowning the tension, the gloom
In the reflected city light
I'm diving deeper into the night
Slate-gray neon signs
Reflecting in puddles of chrome
Emergency lights flickering in the dark
A flash of red, a siren's spark
I grab my neon umbrella
A wobbly, plastic castle
Trying to shield me from the storm
I'm drenched, but still I'll roar
Get me out of here tonight
Before I lose my mind
Four walls closing in
The rain will wash it all from my skin
Rain falls on my motel roof
Glass-topped tables collecting the truth
Every word and every look
Imprinted like smudged lipstick, oh oh
Rain falls on my motel room
Drowning the tension, the gloom
In the reflected city light
I'm diving deeper into the night
I'll be a speck of rain
On this concrete plain
Raindrops on glass
Washing it all away
Rain falls on my motel roof
Glass-topped tables collecting the truth
Every word and every look
Imprinted like smudged lipstick, oh oh
Rain falls on my motel room
Drowning the tension, the gloom
In the reflected city light
I'm diving deeper into the night
Rain subsiding
Laundry done
Folding the last towel
I'll head out to the open road
The neon city's still awake
And the rain's a distant ache
In my headlights, its trail
Through the lens, I'll glimpse your face.
