Corner of Love and Doom


Leaning against a street light
On the corner of Love and Doom
Red lights are flashing
in the windows of every room
Not sure how I got here or
How long I plan to stay
But it’s almost midnight
And it’s been a real long day
Saxophone is playing
Somewhere down the hall
I can hear it wailing
One of my favorite songs
The one about heartache
And the one that’s about pain
Hits a nerve in my body
As I stand here in the rain
Another john another dollar
On the corner of Love and Doom
Hey mister can you tell me
Where a girl can find a room
Bruises on my body
Beatings every day
Not sure how I got here
Or how long I plan to stay
Leaning against a street light
On the corner of Love and Doom
