[00:22.03]The heat is so great
[00:23.89]It plays tricks with the eye
[00:26.27]It turns the road to water
[00:28.21]And then from water to sky
[00:29.83]And theres a crack in the concrete floor
[00:32.19]And it starts at the sink
[00:34.32]Theres a bathroom in a gas station
[00:35.95]And Ive locked myself in it to think
[00:47.42]And back in the city
[00:49.17]The sun bakes the trash on the curb
[00:51.49]The men are pissing in doorways
[00:53.60]And the rats run in herds
[00:55.84]Ive got a dream of your face
[00:57.65]That scares me awake
[01:00.09]I put too much on my table
[01:01.84]And now I got too much a stake
[01:12.89]And I might let you off easy
[01:15.00]Yeah I might lead you on
[01:17.06]I might wait for you to look for me
[01:19.07]And then I might be gone
[01:21.18]Where I come from and where Im going
[01:23.25]And Im lost in between
[01:24.31]I might go up to that phone booth
[01:27.30]And leave a veiled invitation on you machine
[01:38.14]And youll stop me wont you
[01:40.26]If youve heard this one before
[01:42.39]The one where I surprise you
[01:44.12]By showing up at your front door

[02:09.28]The housekeeper comes in without a warning
[02:11.53]And I squint at the muscular motel lady
[02:13.71]Says hey good morning
[02:15.71]And she jumps her keys jingle
[02:17.70]And she leaves as quick as she came in
[02:20.08]And I roll over and taste the pillow with my grin
[02:24.19]Well the sheets are twisted and tangled
[02:26.88]And the heat is so great
[02:28.30]And I swear I can feel the mattress
[02:30.29]Sinking underneath your weight
[02:32.29]Oh sleep is like a fever
[02:34.41]And Im glad when it ends
[02:36.41]And the road flows like a river
[02:38.66]And pulls me around every bend
[02:41.46]And youll stop me wont you
