Fugitive Motel

Elbow

Lost in a lullaby

Side of the road

Melt in a memory

Slide in a solitude

Not 'til I can read by the moon

Am I going anywhere

Not 'til I can read by the moon



I blow you a kiss

It should reach you tomorrow

As it flies from the other side of the world

From my room in my fugitive motel

Somewhere in the dust bowl

Yeah it flies from the other side of the world



I'm tired, I said

You always look tired, she said

I'm admired, I said

You always look tired, she said



Not 'til I can read by the moon

I'm not going anywhere

Not 'til I can read by the moon



I blow you a kiss

It should reach you tomorrow

As it flies from the other side of the world

From my room in my fugitive motel

Somewhere in the dust bowl

Somewhere in the dust bowl

It flies from the other side of the world



The curtains stay closed

But everyone knows

You hear through the walls in this place

Cigarette holes for every lost soul

To give up the ghost in this place



Give me strength

Give me wings

Give me strength

Give me wings



I blow you a kiss

It should reach you tomorrow

Reach you tomorrow

It flies from the other side of the world

From my room in my fugitive motel

Somewhere in the dust bowl

Somewhere in the dust bowl

It flies from the other side of the world

The other side of the world

The other side of the world



(The other side of the world)
