Shy

Well the heat is so great

It plays tricks with the eye

It turns the road into water

Then from water to sky

And there's a crack in the concrete floor

That starts at the sink

Yea, there's a bathroom in the gas station

And I've locked myself in it to think



Back in the city

The sun bakes the trash on the curb

The men are pissing in doorways

And the rats are running in herds

And I've got a dream with your face in it

That scares me awake

I've put too much on my table

Now I've got too much at stake



And I might let you off easy

Yea I might lead you on

I might wait for you to look for me

And then I might be gone

There's where I've come from and where I'm going

And I am lost in between

I might go out to that phone booth

And leave a veiled invitation on your machine



And you'll stop me, won't you?

If you've heard this one before

Oh the one where I surprise you

By showing up at your front door

Saying, "Let's not ask what next

or how or why

I'm leaving in the morning

So let's not be shy"

Don't be shy



The door opens, the room winces

The housekeeper comes in without a warning

And I squint at the muscular motel lady

And say "Hey morning"

As she jumps her keys jingle

She leaves as quickly as she came in

And I roll over and taste the pillow with my grin

Well the sheets are twisted and damp

But the heat is so great

And I swear I can feel the mattress

Sinking underneath your weight

Boy your sleep is like a fever

And I'm glad when it ends

Oh the road flows like a river

And it pulls me round every bend



Stop me, won't you?

If you've heard this one before

Oh the one where I surprise you

By showing up at your front door

Saying, "Let's not ask what next

or how or why

I am leaving in the morning

So let's not be shy"

Don't be shy



Well the heat is so great

It plays tricks with the eye

It turns the road into water

Then from water to sky

And there's a crack in the concrete floor

It starts at the sink
