The City And The Ghost lyrics

Tonight I need the bright lights, still got her face on my mind.
Heading where the talk is cheap and I m dressed to a "t" so they won t notice me.
It s warm for October and I ve got the windows down.
The skyline whispers her promises, the same lie each night.
But I force myself to believe...
And I swore it d be different but how could it be?
What I came to escape is right here inside of me.
The city s a desert with photographic stars.
Each pretty face is just a mirage, and my mouth s full of sand again.
But I force myself to believe, across the river s acure for what s sick inside of me.
I look in the mirror past the buildings, the sky s getting light.
Another piece of my innocence is the admission I paid there tonight.
Slow down past her exit though it makes me sick, and I imagine her saying,
"You re better than this... you re better than this."
And I swore it d be different but how could it be?
What I came here to escape is right here inside of me.
