The main street is too loud, let me take you somewhere quieter.
Your car is too noisy, pardon if tonight I’m acting like a rioter.
The sheets on my bed are white, and the walls can keep it mute.
Please look at me, love, please watch it, you senseless brute.
The darkness in my room is calming, it comes up in waves,
And all the drugs in your system make your dull head behave.
The sheets on my bed are crumbled as you lie without purpose.
Please look at me as midnight drifts into foam, burns in turquoise.
The locks are all open as I push you out of sight, out in night.
There’s no one to have your back anymore, no one to your right.
The sheets on my bed are red so I move into another cheap motel
Under a different pseudonym, with another man under the spell.
