If only this Tallahassee place were real...
Like a trash can fire in a prison cell, like the searchlights in the parking lots of Hell
things will shortly get completely out of hand - i can feel it in the rotten air tonight, in the tips of my fingers, in the skin on my face.
This little song caught my attention this morning. I reminded me of someone I used to be.
One of my favourite lyrics: "Like the searchlights in the parking lots of hell"
I can feel it in the rotten air tonight / In the tips of my fingers / In the skin on my face / In the weak last grasp of the evening's dying light / In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place / Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell / Like the searchlights in the parking lots of Hell
