Lyrics
High noon
He takes me
Two flights up
To Two rooms
Dim light
Gives a Dim view
The bedroom, a close cave of
Coffee and perfume
And the curtains are
Drawn over
Dirty windows
And the Dirty walls
Are covered in clippings
The ceiling is dripping
Pictures of movie stars
They?re oh so tall and
They?re oh so thin
They look oh so feminine
What he?d give
What he?d do
This is just a place he?s passing through
This is just a place he?s passing through
He says
?You know some days
I don?t want go
?cross the street get myself a
pack a smokes
The guy at the counter
he tries not to show it but
I swear he knows it
I swear he knows it
I can?t just up and walk
Out my door
No it?s not like that anymore
At least an hour on
The clothes, the face
Careful now don?t leave a trace
Just once I?d like
To be left alone
His eyes they follow me home
Their eyes they meet me back home
Some nights what I do is stare
At myself in the light in the bathroom mirror
Lipstick and lashes put up my hair
Pick out some earrings ? a pretty pair
I?m not so thin
But I?m just as tall
Like those girls there on my wall
What I?d give
What I?d do
This is just the person I?m
What I?d give
What I?d do
This is just the person I?m passing through
This is just the person I?m passing through
Just the person I?m passing through
