Shy

One, two One, two, three, four Well, the heat is so great It plays tricks with the eye It turns the road into water And then from water to sky And there's a crack in the concrete floor And it starts at the sink There's a bathroom in a gas station And I've locked myself in it to think And 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 got a dream with your face in it That scares me awake I put too much on the table Now I got too much at stake And I might let you off easy Yeah, I might lead you on I might wait for you to look for me And then I might be gone There's where I come from and where I'm going And I am lost in between I might go up 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 The one where I surprise you By showing up at your front door Saying let's not ask what's next or how, or why? I am leaving in the morning, so let's not be shy I'll be shy The door opens, the room winces The housekeeper comes in without a warning I squint at the muscular motel light And say, "Hey, good morning" As she jumps her keys jingle And 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 Oh, sleep is like a fever And I'm glad when it ends And the road flows like a river And it pulls me around every bend And you'll stop me, won't you If you've heard this one before Or the one where I surprise you By showing up at your front door Saying let's not ask what's next or how, or why? I am leaving in the morning, so let's not be shy I'll be shy Oh, shy Well, the heat is so great It plays tricks with the eye It turns the road into water And then from water to sky And there's a crack in the concrete floor And it starts at the sink There's a bathroom in a gas station And I've locked myself in it to think And you'll stop me, won't you If you've heard this one before Or the one where I surprise you By showing up at your front door Saying let's not ask what's next or how, or why? I am leaving in the morning so let's not be shy And you'll stop me, won't you If you've heard this one before Or the one where I surprise you By showing up at your front door Saying let's not ask what's next or how, or why? I am leaving in the morning so let's not be shy I'll be shy Shy Shy ...
