The street light crawls into a bare bulb hotel

Where dead eyes shine there's a story to tell

It's a life of crime on a bed of stone

When the devil calls you're better off alone

[Chorus]

And now I'm hiding from the light, running from my destiny

Haunted by a flame, lying low, livin' on a memory

The bugs still bite and the breezes blow

Between your dreams right through your clothes

The days roll by like cars on a train

And the august sky still looks like rain

[Chorus]

Haunted by a dream, I can't escape this reverie

Trying to break away, lying low, livin' on a memory

I'll be walking behind you, I'm a face on the wind

I'll be watchin', still payin' for my sins

I'm drifting down the river so slow

As the lights of town are beginning to glow

[Chorus]

Haunted by a dream, I can't escape from this reverie

Trying to break away, lying low, livin' on a memory...
