Sparkle In the Sun - Hazelwood Motel

They named it the rock Land of the living dead A repose for the rich and famous All the infamous would tell each other's lies Why did they want to tell the truth On an island in the sun Cool Pacific winds blow Most were poets And they wrote in basic prose On the walls of their Sunset Boulevard In their nine by five rooms became inspired By the silence in sight of the city On an island in the sun Cool Pacific winds blow Just across the bay Battered by the waves On an island in the sun Cool Pacific winds blow Just across the bay Battered by the waves

The pressure builds, you buy a gift You're hoping that your dread will lift It glitters on her like a glass You shudder as it comes to pass Apologize to Luce and Lil' Converse with Ed, a drive with Jill Your friends confine you in their worlds One by one, a string of pearls Confuse you say, this isn't me You hover in their unity Ashamed, you slowly lose your grasp Release the links, undo the clasp The skin that drips down from the tree And peels back slowly from your knee Erupts into your lung and heart You laugh and laughing, fall apart Laugh and laughing, fall apart Laugh and laughing, fall apart Laugh and laughing, fall apart ...

Sittin' in the sun, countin' my money Fanned by a summer breeze Sweeter than the honey is countin' my money Those greenbacks on the trees Comes a summer shower, drops o' rain falling Sweeter than Christmas chimes Hearing those jingles upon the roof shingles Like pennies, nickels and dimes Tho' it's known that what I own is not a large amount Fields of gold that I behold are in my bank account Yeah, sittin' in the sun, countin' my money Happy as I can be And to top it all When shadows fall I look to heaven and I see There's a silver dollar in the sky Shining down on me Yeah, sittin' in the sun, countin' my money Happy as I can be, yes And to top it all When shadows fall I look to heaven and I see There's a silver dollar in the sky It's shining, shining, shining down on me

Lost in a lullaby Side of the road Melt in a memory Slide in a solitude Not 'til I can read by the moon Am I going anywhere Not 'til I can read by the moon I blow you a kiss It should reach you tomorrow As it flies from the other side of the world From my room in my fugitive motel Somewhere in the dust bowl Let it flies from the other side of the world "I'm tired" I said "You always look tired" she said "I'm admired" I said "You always look tired" she said Not 'til I can read by the moon Am I going anywhere Not 'til I can read by the moon I blow you a kiss It should reach you tomorrow, reach you tomorrow It flies from the other side of the world From my room in my fugitive motel Somewhere in the dust bowl, somewhere in the dust bowl It flies from the other side of the world The curtains stay closed Everyone knows You hear through the walls in this place Cigarette holes for every lost soul To give up the ghost in this place Give me strength Give me wings Give me strength Give me wings I blow you a kiss It should reach you tomorrow, reach you tomorrow It flies from the other side of the world From my room in my fugitive motel Somewhere in the dust bowl, somewhere in the dust bowl It flies from the other side of the world The other side of the world The other side of the world Other side of the world

Give it a rest I'm quite aware It was a doomed affair, from the start Everyone told me to stay away It's just a game she plays, with her heart But I'm a man made of flesh and blood Oh god just give me, love's what I crave And as she goes walking out the door She turned to me once more, and she sang I don't break hearts, no that's not me I don't break hearts, I destroy them I don't break hearts, no that's not me I don't break hearts, I destroy them Now I'm alone sitting in the park Sitting in the dark, trying to breath Everyone tells me to carry on The damages are done, set me free I was a man made of flesh and blood Oh now just dirt and mud in my veins I know she left, but she's haunting me I hear her mocking me, as she sings I don't break hearts, no that's not me I don't break hearts, I destroy them I don't break hearts, no that's not me I don't break hearts, I destroy them I don't break, I don't break I don't break hearts, I destroy them I don't break, I don't break I don't break hearts, I destroy them Hey! Hey! Oh! Oh! Hey! Hey! Oh! Oh! I don't break hearts, no that's not me I don't break hearts, I destroy them I don't break hearts, no that's not me I don't break hearts, I destroy them I don't break, I don't break I don't break hearts, I destroy them I don't break, I don't break I don't break hearts, I destroy them
