That neon Sun is flickering The night is almost through I'm drowning this tired soul of mine In a dirt glass or two I played the wrong hand, baby I lost everything I owned Traded a love that was true For a ghost that I had known This cigarette smoke hides my face Shadows dancing on the wall It's just another midnight confession Trying to answer sorrow's call A thug for a pardon That I know ain't never gonna come While the city is fast asleep I'm waiting for the Sun The barman don't even look my way Just shakes his head and goes He knows a story like mine Is a death that a man froze Maybe the Sun will rise tomorrow And wash away this guilty stain But tonight there's darkness is my prison And the blues is calling my name This cigarette smoke hides my face Shadows dancing on the wall It's just another midnight confession Trying to answer sorrow's call A thug for a pardon That I know ain't never gonna come While the city is fast asleep I'm waiting for the Sun The neon light Flickers and fades This empty glass This midnight confession Fades away
