Convenience Store

After the moonlight shines the way to go Looking like a friend I used to know It leads me where I haven't been before It's there once more, that ole convenience store Those tired faces and those haunted eyes They struggle even to bring out a smile Maybe I'll stay there for a little while Don't mind the time, just a distraction to keep me alive You can get anything you want Anything you need to take her off your mind A moment to forget, swiftly wash away regret To keep you satisfied Another late-night routine A story often seen in this midnight light They're all poets in disguise, if you look into their eyes There is no compromise Sometimes the pain can bring a sweet relief In a cozy corner of a busy street Under the muzak moaning from the walls Heed the call, life's but a rise and fall Where broken chords and broken hearts collide The glow of colored lines is where I hide Until the hour comes when I decide Be it wrong or right, gotta break from the hold of the night You can get anything you want Anything you need to take her off your mind A moment to forget, swiftly wash away regret To keep you satisfied Another late-night routine A story often seen in this midnight light They're all poets in disguise, if you look into their eyes There is no compromise You can get anything you want Anything you need to take her off your mind A moment to forget, swiftly wash away regret To keep you satisfied Another late-night routine A story often seen in this midnight light They're all poets in disguise, if you look into their eyes There is no compromise You can get anything you want Anything you need to take her off your mind You can get anything you want Anything you need to keep her off your mind
