  • Some days when I'm far away
    In a lonely room in a cold seclusion
    Some nights when I'm wound so tight
    There is no release, there is no solution
    In hell there's a big hotel
    Where the bar just closed and the windows never opened
    No phone so you can't call home
    And the TV works, but the clicker is broken
    But in the darkness I see your light turned on
    You know my weakness, you know how I respond to

    CHORUS
    Blonde over blue
    Your hands are cold, your eyes are fire
    Blonde over blue
    They shine as though you're burning inside
    One word from you is all I need to be inspired
    Blonde over blue
    I need your inspiration tonight

    These days there's a million ways
    To be pulled and torn, to be misdirected
    These times there are sins and crimes
    On the morning shows for the disconnected
    I look and I write my book
    And I walk away with the wrong impressions
    I don't care 'cause I've done my share
    And I need some time for my own obsessions
    It doesn't matter, I've let that life go by
    It's been forgotten 'cause all I wanted was you

    CHORUS

    These days not a damn soul prays
    ANd there is no faith 'cause there's nothing to believe in
    THese days only good luck pays
    If we don't get paid then we try to get even
    I look and I write my book
    And I have my say and I draw conclusions
    Some nights when I'm wound so tight
    There is no release, there is no solution
    But in the darkness I see your light turned on
    You know my weakness, you know how I respond to

    CHORUS
