Lyrics
Livin On A Memory
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The street light crawls into a bare bulb hotel
Where dead eyes shine there's a story to tell
It's a life of crime on a bed of stone
When the devil calls you're better off alone
Chorus:
And now I'm hiding from the light, running from my destiny
Haunted by a flame, lying low, livin' on a memory
The bugs still bite and the breezes blow
Between your dreams right through your clothes
The days roll by like cars on a train
And the August sky still looks like rain
chorus
Haunted by a dream, I can't escape this reverie
Trying to break away, lying low, livin' on a memory
I'll be walking behind you, I'm a face on the wind
I'll be watchin', still payin' for my sins
I'm drifting down the river so slow
As the lights of town are beginning to glow
chorus
Haunted by a dream, I can't escape from this reverie
Trying to break away, lying low, livin' on a memory...
