A rundown motor inn
Had to stop for the night
Couldn't keep the lie going
You're like that vacancy sign
Neon light keeps buzzing
I cant get no sleep
The price of freedom
I'm paying and it ain't cheap
When the room is filling up with water
I'm gonna float
About to give up you know I oughta
But I don't
You can't hold on to a heartache
When it's made of smoke
Finding things that break
Don't always stay broke
Left you in the storm
Let the Santa Ana's blow
That wayward wind of yours
Has let me down slow
The mountains I'm moving
Are tumbleweeds by red sunrise
When every new love starts
From a last goodbye
When the room is filling up with water
I'm gonna float
About to give up you know I oughta
But I don't
You can't hold on to a heartache
When it's made of smoke
Finding things that break
Don't always stay broke
Ride it out, ride it out and shut my eyes
As black and as low the vulture flies
I'm soaring to the ground just like
The shell of the bullet fired, so empty inside
When the room is filling up with water
I'm gonna float
About to give up you know I oughta
But I don't
Why hold on to a heartache
When I know you won't
Finding things that break
Don't always stay
Things that break
Don't always stay
Things that break
Don't always stay broke
