Lyrics

Broken fingernails/lodged in his spine
guilty conscience/left behind
Dirty Motels/they never sleep
All the lies and secrets they keep

Just past the edge of town
there's always something going down
They say...

They tell themselves that they don't need help and everything is alright
but they kill themselves, yeah they kill themselves, night after night
to remind themselves how they felt, once upon a time
it sure is a strange trip that thing that they call life
it's only a matter of time

Dirty handshake/a crooked smile
She seen more years and she seen more miles
dirty motels/what's underneath
all the secrets and deceit

Just past the edge of town
there's always something going down
They say...

They tell themselves that they don't need help and everything is alright
but they kill themselves, yeah they kill themselves, night after night
to remind themselves how they felt, once upon a time
it sure is a strange trip that thing that they call life
it's only a matter of time

Take me to the side of town, where no one goes when the sun is down
stranger days and castaways sprawled out in an alley way
damaged goods sell for less but I don't know who would pay for this

They tell themselves that they don't need help and everything is alright
but they kill themselves, yeah they kill themselves, night after night
to remind themselves how they felt, once upon a time
it sure is a strange trip that thing that they call life
it's only a matter of time
