Fingertip dancing on a whiskey bottle stain
Walking outside looking for a hole in the rain
Four clicks and the neon fades into the night
Four blocks and the shadows grow out of streetlight
She's standing on the corner
Black dress silhouette, nameless face
Been a long time since I needed this place
All lit up like day-glo, she'll chase away the pain
Unfasten the halo, misplace the blame
She's standing on the corner
Don't ask me where I'm going
Don't tell me what you've seen
Just hold me 'til it's time to leave
It's more ritual than desire but it always tastes the same
She starts telling me her life and I'm turning away
Ashes from her cigarette drifting down to the floor
Once I burned up for love, I don't burn no more
She's standing on the corner
Don't ask me where I'm going
Don't tell me what you've seen
Just hold me 'til it's time to leave
Don't need the alarm clock in the bedroom, just two hours on the couch
Rumpled clothes and aftertaste, twist inside the doubt
There's a moment gives me sweet forget
Before stumbling in empty rooms
But it comes back with a vengeance, rewinds me too soon
She's standing on the corner
Don't ask me where I'm going
Don't tell me what you've seen
Just hold me 'til it's time to leave
Just hold me 'til it's time to leave
Just hold me 'til it's time to leave
Just hold me 'til it's time to leave
'Til it's time to leave
