Comfort Inn Lyrics

I am the reason that you run
Piss drunk with the wine
Giving faith to you
You say you drank her eyes like wine
And played like violins
They do do the truth
And the medium she paints with is the blossoms in your eyes
Like the freedom songs the slaves sang to drown away their cries
She is lost out in and I'm not a bit surprised
She has taken your heart from you

The city it holds a certain smell
Gets trapped inside your lungs
Give you piece of mind
She holds a piece of your mind
Says you'll have it back
If you stay with her a while

And the hardest chord she plays
She plays without a miss
You ain't felt nothing like it since the days that we were kids
Hard of confusion kept baffled feelings in
She's opened you up somehow

Now your drink doesn't call your name
You've given up destruction for a brand new game
She is leaving for the heavens
You better catch her if you can

So she goes in the shore to shake you up
Blessed is the man who hasn't had enough
I'm sure you will try to press your luck
She will bring you down through nine o'clock to the ground
She will write you songs on the napkins stained with cakes
You say you haven't got yours
She'll show you what you've missed
She'll point to the man in the corner
Clenching his fists
Wasting his life away

You'll feel better if you sleep
Sandman's heroin will bring you deep
She will be waiting there for you
To take your withered hands
In her hands she'll keep
She will tell you stories of the singers in her day
Before these fingers came and took it all away
She will smile and her eyes will seem to say to you
Remember when times were good?

Nothing will ever be the same again
You will never find a closer friend
She is leaving for the station
Better catch her if you can


The midnight madness wake you up
Chew you up and spit you out
She will pick you off the ground
Off the sidewalks of this town
She'll take you to the river
And she'll baptize you with grace
You will find a cure to sadness in the valleys of her face
She will make something of beauty from this filthy place
And lay it by your bed
You will feel like you've just been born
Deep inside you there's this aching warm
She's leaving for the city
Better catch her if you can
Better catch her if you can
Better catch her
Better catch her if you can
