"The Shining" lyrics

"The Shining"

Falling out of nowhere, calling out your number
Books beside your bed just where you lay your head
Man behind the counter drinking limonata
Looks me in the eye before he turns away

Time makes every man a mess, so who's safe?
Knocking on the same old doors and running away
Climbing up the fire escape
And I carry my mistakes so well, oh well

Cigarettes and coffee is all you have to give me
Sitting in the lobby on my own
Come and look right at me, say what you have for me
Faces in the curtains watching every move we make
Speak into the red phone, thinking of the ride home
Standing in the shower with the water running cold
Sit and watch The Shining with just the kitchen light on

They say time makes every man a mess, so who's safe?
Knocking on the same old doors and running away
Climbing up the fire escape
'Cause I have nowhere to run, oh no

Ooh, no
Oh
Oh
