I'm walkin' through these summer nights
Jukebox playin' low
Yesterday everything was going too fast
Today, it's movin' too slow
I got no place left to turn
Got nothin' left to burn

Don't know if I saw you
if I would kiss you or kill you
It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
You left me standing in the doorway crying
I got nothin' to go back to now

The light in this place is oh so bad
Makin' me sick in the head
All of the laughter is just making me sad
The stars have turned cherry red (Cherry red)
I'm strumming on my gay guitar
Smoking a cheap cigar

The ghost of our old love has not gone away
Don't lookin' like it will anytime soon
You left me standing in the doorway crying
Under the midnight moon

Maybe they'll get me, maybe they won't
But not tonight and it won't be here
There were things I could say, but I don't
I know the mercy of God must be near
I've been riding the midnight train
Got ice water in my veins

I would be crazy if I took you back
It would go against every rule
You left me standing in the doorway crying
Suffering like a fool
You left me standing in the doorway crying
Suffering like a fool
