There was a face on a hoarding that someone had drawn on
And just enough time for the night to pass by without warning
Away in the distance theres a blue flashing light
Someones in trouble somewhere tonight
As the flickering neon stands ready to fuse
The wind blows away all of yesterdays news
Well theyve locked up their daughters and they battened the hatches
They always could find us but they never could catch us
Through the grease streaked windows of an all night cafe
We watched the arrested get taken away
And that cigarette haze has ecology beat
As the whores and the drunks filed in from the street
Cause the steams in the boiler the coals in the fire
If you ask how I am then Ill just say inspired
If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side
Then youre better off dead if you havent yet died
