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...
