Red Lights And Neon Lyrics - Singles - Boiled In Lead

I hope you don't mind if I 

Rest inside your door 

Please forgive the snowy footprints 

I'm tracking on your floor. 

I only want to stop and rest 

Don't want to start no fight. 

I'll just wait here for a while 

'Till the police car's out of sight. 

For as long as I remember 

I've hated those red lights 

And hotel rooms with plaster walls 

And loud and lonely nights. 

It seems like I've been on this road 

Ever since I was a kid 

I could tell if I was sorry 

If I remembered what I did. 

A wanted man in New Orleans 

Matches my description. 

Mister druggist please be kind enough 

To refill my prescription. 

If I had to do it over 

This ain't the life I'd choose 

But the road still runs and so do I 

And at least I made the news. 

And the streetlights never waver 

And the red lights never dim 

And the neon always glitters 

And it was better me than him.
