It's a cheap hotel, the heat pipes hiss
 The bathroom's down the hall, and it smells like piss
 It's another night in another town
 And I'm another blues traveler headed down
 
 Falling out of love is a dangerous thing
 With its slippery slopes and its weighted wings
 With its birds of prey circling overhead
 Casting vulture shadows on barren beds
 Let me out, set me free
 Let me out, set me free
 
 The clock inside the church bell tower
 Rings your name every hour
 I see your face, I touch your hair
 Then the ringing fades and nobody's there
 
 Falling out of love is a treacherous thing
 With its crucible kiss and its ravaged ring
 With its holy whispers and labyrinth lies
 Sacrilegious hungry sighs
 Let me out, set me free
 Let me out, set me free
 
 I walk the streets, and I taste the dirt
 I am flesh and blood, and my body hurts
 I search your silence looking for a crack
 For a passageway where I can pull you back
 
 Falling out of love is a tedious thing
 With its jailhouse smirk and its chain gang swing
 Its time to serve and its sentence set
 With its warm blood and cold sweat
 Let me out, set me free
 Let me out, set me free
