Lyrics for From a Motel 6

You shouldn't hide but you always do Cause even when you're gone I can see right through You want disconnection You want me there enough for two Pull a woolen blanket across my eyes Dream a quiet place for us to fight Oh no, your heart is broken Don't you think that's a little trite? I climb where I can see You're close but I won't reach Blank stare at the TV CNN's on channel three In the passing lane on 1 and 9 Stuck in sad car, stuck in drive Oh no, your heart is broken Well, you can have what's left of mine I climb where I can see You're close but I won't reach Blank stare at the TV The Howling II's on channel three Oh, I drift off to sleep While the snow falls on the screen
