The Shining - The Staves

Falling out of nowhere, calling out your number

Books beside the bed just where you lay your head

Man behind the counter, drinking limonata

Looks me in the eye before he turns away

Time makes every man a mess, so who’s safe?

Knocking on the same old doors and running away

Climbing up the fire escape

And I carry my mistakes so well, oh well

Cigarettes and coffee, is all you have to give me

Sitting in the lobby on my own

Come and look right at me, say what you have for me

Faces in the curtains watching move we make

Speaking to the red phone, thinking of the ride home

Standing in the shower with the water running cold

Sit and watch The Shining, with just the kitchen light on

They say, time makes every man a mess, so who’s safe?

Knocking on the same old doors and running away

Climbing up the fire escape

'Cause I have nowhere to run, oh no

Oooh, no

Ohhhh

Ohhhhh
