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

| I read that it was about his experiences of being on the road in the USA having to stay in sleazy motels that are bound to have interesting histories. The piece where he's talking to someone "I'm tired I said, you always look tired she said" is him on the phone to a friend back home who's trying to keep him grounded and remind him who he is and not let him get big headed. Something like that... | |
