She had a meaty name and a Guild on the wall and a swagger |
|
Yeah, a champion to this beaten ghost and brow |
|
The city was sweating and they were drinking in the hall |
|
when they got back to the cathouse to drive outta the blackout |
|
And not just some cool-ass show; anywhere but home. |
|
(do you stay where you're supposed to, so you keep your ring around? |
|
my throat just feels so tight where your heart pumped all night.) |
|
They talked until the moon lost to the blue light again |
|
then back to the cornered company of the stranger within |
|
and the one place I wanna go: anywhere but home. |
|
See I hold this little image of how it used to be |
|
but I've got one too many shadows of that night in the street, |
|
There's things that burn away in the heat of true love, |
|
but some nights remain and just burn one night too much. |
|
W/ the flame, w/o the glow, anywhere but home. |
