From The East - Hotel Mira

You play guitar and

I play the drums

You think it’s charming

When we get drunk

'Cause you said something

But I like that

And I said something

But I took it back

Our home town is not big enough

No, it could never hold the both of us

You know things your girlfriends taught

Well, hold that thought, baby

Hold that thought

She walks around like

She’s in heat

She makes it sound like

She’s in heat

She’s breaking curfew

Just for me

So I know better

Than to try to speak

When she’s going home

When the streetlights glow

And the moon is full

And her mother knows

'Cause she done the same

When she was her age

So she don’t complain

When she acts that way

I bob and weave just like a boxer

Avoiding heartbreak from the East

I’ve never been much of a talker

Avoiding heartbreak from the East

I get the feeling that I lost her

Avoiding heartbreak from the East

Happy hunting

She’s such a gem

Cranberry somethings

She had a lot of them

And boarding schools

Have got the best cocaine

And I’m warning you

You’re gonna be okay

Til she’s going home with another guy

'Cause its Murphy’s law and it’s a matter of time

She gonna grip the sheets before she screams his name

He’s gonna burn his hands on my former flame

I bob and weave just like a boxer

Avoiding heartbreak from the east

I’ve never been much of a talker

Avoiding heartbreak from the east

I get the feeling that I lost her

Avoiding heartbreak from the east

Avoiding heartbreak, at least

Then call me up when you’re weak
