Story Behind The Song

Wound up staying in this dingy hotel room after a arguement with his wife & couldn't afford anything more than that.

Song Description

Staying in a dingy hotel room uptown in a big city and hearing sounds of the city at night It is a warm summer night There are sirens in the background Neon sign flashing beer & wine . A feeling of eeryness & tenceness. A man looks out the window of his

Lyrics

Alone in a room
He stairs out the window & into the gloom
Cross the way there's a neon sign
each time it flashes It says beer & wine
And down the street like a bat out of hell
there comes a taxi to take me down town

From a distance , somewhere up town .
There's a siren you hear the sound.
Alone in the night no one there no one in sight

Alone in the night no one there, no one in the sight
So from a distance you hear the sound
Of a siren way cross town
Instr
Street lights I see from my window
The sound of the city , the dark of the night
