Watching strange faces pass beneath the light with a bottle waving in your hand

So lonesome that can’t even say hello, and no one seems to under-stand.

You travel by night and you travel alone. Came to rest at a penny arcade.


G                                                                                   D
Now the last shot is over on a Saturday night. You wake in the beam of a cops flash light.


D                                                                                      G
He’s ask who you are like you knew or you cared. He’s asking where you and just say no-where

A prayer and a chance, from out of the blue. Asking for a miracle to see you through

I don’t know where I got it, but I got it the same. It’s a feeling that can rip you apart

Follows me around like a part of my name. Like I’m born with a time bomb instead of a heart
