Lyrics
Neon says vacancy, buzzing low Pool lit blue with nowhere to go Ice machine hums down the hall Two a.m. and I'm talking to the wall Sand on the sill and a dry warm breeze Key on a plastic tag, room number three Nobody knows where I am tonight Just the stars and the vacancy light Vacancy sign hum, lull me slow Desert motel and a radio Nowhere to be till the sun comes round Just the buzz of the light and the quiet sound Vacancy sign hum, hold me here Empty road and the night is clear Highway whispers past the lot One lone truck then the dark again I drew the curtain and the stripe of light Laid across the bed like a silver line Called no one, wrote no one Let the quiet do what the quiet does Nobody knows where I am tonight Just the stars and the vacancy light Vacancy sign hum, lull me slow Desert motel and a radio Nowhere to be till the sun comes round Just the buzz of the light and the quiet sound Vacancy sign hum, hold me here Empty road and the night is clear Maybe I came out here to hear myself Past the noise, past everybody else And the desert says nothing, says it so kind Rest now, rest now, leave the rest behind Vacancy sign hum, lull me slow Desert motel and a radio Nowhere to be till the sun comes round Just the buzz of the light and the quiet sound Vacancy sign hum, hold me here Empty road and the night is clear Hum, hum, vacancy Hold me here, hold me here
