You treat me like a sailor, break me like a windowpane
I'm holding out for heaven in the ruins and the roaring rain
Hungry as an animal and pulling like a dog on a chain
You treat me like a sailor, break me like a windowpane
And I know there's money left behind from the marriage you had before
So I keep my clothes in a suitcase my boots right by the door
And I live down in the basement but she lets me sleep up on the second floor
But I know there's money left behind from the marriage she had before
So I guess closing time's early in the city tonite
And everyone's running to the place they hide
And I'm a bag of nerves beneath the city lights and oh what a lesson to learn
Oh what a lesson to learn
You scar me to the tissue but you're soft as good news
And I know you're overrated but I've been underused
You caught me in the corner where I got nothing left to choose
I know you're overrated but I've been underused
So closing time's early in the city tonite but I still need a place to hide
So I can sleep through until the morning comes tonite
Yeah closing time's early in the city tonite and everyone's running
To the place they hide and I'm a bag of nerves beneath the city lights and oh what a lesson to learn
Oh what a lesson to learn
