Stardust Motel
Stop the arguing, please
I was working on the memory
Of the rhythm of her breathing
When she's fast asleep
So much sweeter than the sound
Of people disagreeing

Like the ghost of gasoline stays clinging to your fingers
I'm haunted by her whispers as well
And I'm singing on my knees 'cos I don't have a prayer
All alone in The Stardust Motel

Angela, Angela
You've got a devil on each shoulder
And no one left to talk to
Keep your bright eyes up
And never let them tell you
What door not to walk through

All the citizens are sleeping and city lights just flicker
Waiting for cathedral bells
I am bleary eyed and burning
Through the shivers of my fever
All alone in The Stardust Motel

Stuck up in a neon castle with a ferris wheel dream
You and me- what a story to tell
I'm telling it tonight, I'm singing for myself
All alone in The Stardust Motel
