The street light crawls into a bare bulb hotel    Where dead eyes shine there's a story to tell    It's a life of crime on a bed of stone    When the Devil calls you're better off alone       And now I'm hiding from the light, running from my destiny    Haunted by a flame, lying low, livin' on a memory       The bugs still bite and the breezes blow    Between your dreams right through your clothes    The days roll by like cars on a train    And the August sky still looks like rain       And now I'm hiding from the light, running from my destiny    Haunted by a flame, lying low, livin' on a memory       Haunted by a dream, I can't escape this reverie    Trying to break away, lying low, livin' on a memory       I'll be walking behind you, I'm a face on the wind    I'll be watchin', still payin' for my sins    I'm drifting down the river so slow    As the lights of town are beginning to glow       And I'm hiding from the light, running from my destiny    Haunted by a flame, lying low, livin' on a memory       Haunted by a dream, I can't escape from this reverie    Trying to break away, lying low, livin' on a memory
