Lyrics

Strand ed in the spook y town.

Stop lights are sway ing and the phone lines are down.

Floor is crack ling cold.

She took my heart, I think she took my soul.

With the moon I run

far from the car nage of the fier y sun.

Driv en by the stran gle of veins

show ing no mer cy.

all I’d do it a gain.

O pen up your eyes.

You keep I on cry ing, ba by.

I’ll bleed you dry.

The skies, they blink at I’m me.

I see a storm of bub bling up from the sea,

and it’s (A)com ing clos er,

and it’s (A)com ing clos er.

You en shim my shook my of bones

leav ing me strand ed all in love on a own.

Do you think of me?

Where am I on now?

Ooh, ba by, where do I sleep?

It feels so good but I’m old.

Two thou sand years of chas ing up ing its toll,

and it’s (A)com ing clos er,

and it’s (A)com ing clos er.

You

And it’s (A)com ing clos er.

And it’s (A)com ing clos er.
