Well the heat is so great   It plays tricks with the eye   It turns the road into water   Then from water to sky   And there's a crack in the concrete floor   That starts at the sink   Yea, there's a bathroom in the gas station   And I've locked myself in it to think      Back in the city   The sun bakes the trash on the curb   The men are pissing in doorways   And the rats are running in herds   And I've got a dream with your face in it   That scares me awake   I've put too much on my table   Now I've got too much at stake      And I might let you off easy   Yea I might lead you on   I might wait for you to look for me   And then I might be gone   There's where I've come from and where I'm going   And I am lost in between   I might go out to that phone booth   And leave a veiled invitation on your machine      And you'll stop me, won't you?   If you've heard this one before   Oh the one where I surprise you   By showing up at your front door   Saying, "Let's not ask what next   or how or why   I'm leaving in the morning   So let's not be shy"   Don't be shy      The door opens, the room winces   The housekeeper comes in without a warning   And I squint at the muscular motel lady   And say "Hey morning"   As she jumps her keys jingle   She leaves as quickly as she came in   And I roll over and taste the pillow with my grin   Well the sheets are twisted and damp   But the heat is so great   And I swear I can feel the mattress   Sinking underneath your weight   Boy your sleep is like a fever   And I'm glad when it ends   Oh the road flows like a river   And it pulls me round every bend      Stop me, won't you?   If you've heard this one before   Oh the one where I surprise you   By showing up at your front door   Saying, "Let's not ask what next   or how or why   I am leaving in the morning   So let's not be shy"   Don't be shy      Well the heat is so great   It plays tricks with the eye   It turns the road into water   Then from water to sky   And there's a crack in the concrete floor   It starts at the sink   There's a bathroom in the gas station   And I have locked myself in it to think      And you'll stop me, won't you?   If you've heard this one before   yeah the one where I surprise you   By showing up at your front door   Saying, "Let's not ask what next   or how or why   I am leaving in the morning   So let's not be shy"      You'll stop me, won't you?   If you've heard this one before   yeah the one where I surprise you   By showing up at your front door   Saying, "Let's not ask what next   how or why   I'm leaving in the morning   So let's not be shy"      Don't be shy   no dont be shy   no don't be shy   no don't be shy   come on fucker don't be shy
