LYRICS
I close my eyes and I see
There’s no escape you’re always there
Your name lingers on my lips like and adolescent prayer
I can’t stand it when you’re gone but I’m bound to misery
Cause I don’t know how to hold you when you’re next to me
I don’t wanna leave you, I don’t wanna stay
I don’t wanna keep on keeping on this way
Each moment is a mystery we never know how we will be
I’m worn out from intensity, why won’t it ever get easy
Here we go again babe, getting blown around by the wind
It pushes us together then pulls us apart again
You say you’re gonna leave me and I beg you to stay
But when I get your heart back mine goes away
I don’t wanna leave you, I don’t wanna stay
I don’t wanna keep on keeping on this way
Each moment is a mystery we never know how we will be
I’m worn out from intensity, why won’t it ever get easy")

LYRICS
He’s lying on the double bed acting self assured
In his T-shirt and his underwear he’s barely said a word
She pours a cup of coffee lights the day’s first cigarette
Picks up the phone and call her kids from the motel kitchenette
There’ re two guys moving slowly in the room across the hall
Both their heads are pounding from last nights alcohol
They met in a chat room then they took it here
They both go by pseudonyms and soon they’ll disappear
Cheaters, liars, outlaws, and fallen angels
Come looking for the grace from which they fell
They hold on to each other in the darkness
The morning light is hell at the Camelot Motel
He met her at the pool hall the guys told him she was touched
Now she’s ranting and she’s raving about the devil, christ and such
He’s thinking about the highway and the way she begged last night
He’s wishing he had blown this place before the morning light
Chorus
Lancelot and Gwenavear bang their bedpost in my ear
Neon lights the castle walls bug lights in the entry halls
I lie awake with a troubled mind thinking ‘bout what I left behind
Me and the royal denizens got damn good reasons for our sins
There’s a couple counting money in room 124
They’re wrapping 10’s and 20’s throwing 1’s down on the floor
They’re strung out and nervous jump at every little sound
He keeps picking up his pistol then putting his pistol down
Chorus")
