Bus Station Lyrics - Modern Art - Tom Russell

Bus station, at sun-up, lookin' for a new place to go He sips his coffee, and he pulls at his ring 

And he thinks of how she looked years ago 

And she curls up with a blanket, in a yellow, plastic seat 

He touches her, as she's looking out the window 

At an empty morning street 

Chorus: 

Well, he musta had a screw loose in his head 

To end up like this after all he said 

He lies to her, she kisses him, gettin' tired of love 

Bus station, at sun-up, she reads the ticket in her hand 

It's a different name for the same old town 

And this is not the life they had planned 

And so he tries to tell her: won't be like the times before 

It's a different town, with a brand new start 

And he's gonna work a whole lot more 

Chorus: 

But he musta had a screw loose in his head 

To end up like this after all he said 

He lies to her, she kisses him, gettin' tired of love 

Bus station, at sun-up, one more hour left to blow 

He touches her, but she'd like to leave 

No place left to go 

Chorus 

She musta had a screw loose in her head 

How can she believe all the things he said 

She lies to him, he kisses her, gettin' tired of love 

Gettin' tired of love 

Gettin' tired of love.
