Take me take me home
There's no one I know
Suffered to stay low
Haircuts and halos

Set apart and spent take
A hand fit to shake
A cigarette break
A minor mistake

Well tonight was a neon sign with the last letter missing
A neighborhood tied to one word
An all-night diner closed at a quarter to twelve
A cat call called out of a cash hotel
Cut loose, and set up for a sinking spell
Six miles sick with a city smell
It died tonight (x3)

Shaking shaking oh no
I set up the show
I set my sights low
Texas and talk shows
Better off in bed make
A silent spit take
A fidgety fake
I'm lying awake

Well tonight was a neon sign with the last letter missing
A neighborhood done in by one word
An all-night diner closed at a quarter to twelve
A cat call called out of a cash hotel
Cut loose, set up for a sinking spell
Six miles sick with a city smell
It died tonight (x6)
