No vacancy,
Not for you at least
But it's plain to see
The place is empty
A new casualty
Stars in her eyes
And the city finds a way
To burn you out
To tear you down
These dirty neon lights
Don't care for you
They'll take it all
If you give them just a piece of you
So hide your smiles
Like the rest of us 'round here
Or you'll never leave
You'll never leave
These dirty neon lights
Don't care for you
They'll take it all
If you give them just a piece of you
So hide your smiles
Like the rest of us 'round here
Or you'll never leave
You'll never leave
You'll never leave
So many alleys
Dimly lit
By cigarettes you hold
Between your fingertips
The rain won't hide your tears
And the world won't stop to ask
How you're holding up
Or where you slept last night
These dirty neon lights
Don't care for you
They'll take it all
If you give them just a piece of you
So hide your smiles
Like the rest of us 'round here
Or you'll never leave
You'll never leave
These dirty neon lights
Feel like home to you
But there's no warmth
There's nothing here to come back to
So hide your smiles
Like the rest of us 'round here
Or you'll never leave
You'll never leave
You'll never leave
