Lyrics

She's got a locket by the bed
lays down in her dirty motel room
as the thought flow through her head
she lights another cigarette and says

i'm surrounded by broken street lights
i'll be grounded in a dream of innocence tonight

he turns the tv on
reaches out for his gideon's bible
thinks about the road he's on
there's gotta be more to life than this he says

i'm surrounded by broken street lights
i'll be grounded in a dream of innocence tonight

i can't believe what we have become
whatever we ask for maybe we'll find
our waking life longs to be in a dream of innocence tonight

i've got a picture by the bed
i lay down in my dirty motel room
in the ashtray by the bible
i see a half-smoked cigarette and say

i'm surrounded by broken street lights
i'll be grounded in a dream of innocence tonight
