Dirty Neon Times Lyrics - Badlees

I thought I felt her ghost again last night 

And I kept a fire burning through the morning light 

You, early morning diner on the neon range 

You, you drove away as it began to rain 

Twenty months of feedin' off original sin 

Ain't shut the door blown open by what should have been 

CHORUS 

And time's been like a dog that begs 

And I find it's needin' to be fed 

Guardian angel rise, pull me out of my disguise 

And shut the door behind on the dirty neon times 

I became an island on a social sea 

And I let someone take my shores occasionally 

Wine, good weed and cigarettes assured they'd leave 

Fine, fine women all but I could not receive 

Twenty months of feedin' off original sin 

Ain't shut the door blown open by what should've been 

CHORUS 

'Cause to condemn her now don't make no sense at all 

Like taxis in the backwoods, like striptease at the mall 

You hit a wall 

CHORUS
