Bed-Sitter Images
The subway station's closed againSleeps beneath its veil of rainMy footprints' broken trail behindSteals the nightlights from my mindThe dark deserted streets then clearToday has lived and died in hereSo I leave the chapel gloom To find the shelter of my tiny roomBut it's alright while the lights of the city shine so brightIt's all right till the last winding train fades from sightThen alone in my room I must stay to lose or winWhile these wild bedsitter images come back to hem me inThe panelled patterns on the doorChase shivering shadows to the floorUpon the pillow worn and thinThe memories of hopes begin The carpet with its flowers and shreddingSpires a foot before my bedThe crack that won't return againLetras de cancionesAdvancing through my broken window paneBut it's alright while the lights of the city shine so brightIt's all right till the last winding train fades from sightThen alone in my room I must stay to lose or winWhile these wild bedsitter images come back to hem me inThe friends I've left back home all writeWith laughing words that warm my sightSaying "Tell us, how's the city life?"I reply and say just fine (Oh, you must be something)And so you see I can't go backUntil I either win or crackI'm standing in a one way streetThe stage is set(Oh, now you're set)The story incompleteBut it's alright while the lights of the city shine so brightIt's alright till the last winding train fades from sightThen alone in my room I must stay to lose or winWhile these wild bedsitter images come back to hem me in
