Clocks tick in dusk eerily slow, when midnight comes to pass my baby and I get down low we race through the red lights, sipping slow High by the shore, the tide is low Daydreams of amphetamines china white, and our hearts beat black I fill the silver spoons, he licks my wounds Motel six, sunday gloom Cause clocks tick eerily slow And when morning comes, I put on a show so the deafening silence shall not grow like the poison ivy rooted on our floor
