Lyrics for Fugitive Motel

Lost in a lullaby Side of the road Melt in a memory Slide in a solitude Not 'til I can read by the moon Am I going anywhere Not 'til I can read by the moon I blow you a kiss It should reach you tomorrow As it flies from the other side of the world From my room in my fugitive motel Somewhere in the dust bowl Let it flies from the other side of the world "I'm tired" I said "You always look tired" she said "I'm admired" I said "You always look tired" she said Not 'til I can read by the moon Am I going anywhere Not 'til I can read by the moon I blow you a kiss It should reach you tomorrow, reach you tomorrow It flies from the other side of the world From my room in my fugitive motel Somewhere in the dust bowl, somewhere in the dust bowl It flies from the other side of the world The curtains stay closed Everyone knows You hear through the walls in this place Cigarette holes for every lost soul To give up the ghost in this place Give me strength Give me wings Give me strength Give me wings I blow you a kiss It should reach you tomorrow, reach you tomorrow It flies from the other side of the world From my room in my fugitive motel Somewhere in the dust bowl, somewhere in the dust bowl It flies from the other side of the world The other side of the world The other side of the world Other side of the world
