ROOM 204

She walked right out the door into the waiting car
Drove into the night only guided by the stars
The sky gave up no secrets 
Just like the deepest shade of black

She kept drivin' until dawn until she couldn't drive no more
Found a cheap motel checked into 204
Brought her baggage brought her sorrow 
Brought her gun brought no tomorrow

Caught in a stranglehold 
Well we still got miles to go
Once upon a time before....

She slipped her nightgown on pulled a pistol from her bag
Stroked the trigger with her finger took a breath she pulled it back
Seems like minutes seems like hours
Seems like seconds til it's over

Caught in a stranglehold 
Well we still got miles to go
Once upon a time before....

So now the damage done only emptiness remains
At the sleepaway motel and the all night poker game
I wish the night was endless and no one felt no pain...

Caught in a stranglehold 
Well we still got miles to go
Once upon a time before.... 2x
