Your Avenue

Follow bliss and doors will open
Too bad they close this one at 2AM
Into after hours the late night flowers
They always lure me to this avenue
The novelty of a new place
Distraction of a pretty face
Anything to stay away from your avenue
Like she said, slow in the head
Out of empty bottles, into empty beds
Lessons learned, always too late
I try and stay away from that place
Follow midnight back-roads to places I shouldn't go
But there's no questions there, only open doors
The sounds of the late night, tonight I think I might
Journey out to new extremes before the night is through
Like she said, slow in the head
Out of empty bottles and then into empty beds
Lessons learned, always too late
I try and stay away from that place
A little on the rough side, or just lucky to be alive
To have survived at all, they say, without the guiding light
After five, just south of 6AM
Somehow I find myself on your avenue
Like she said, slow in the head
Out of empty bottles, baby, into empty beds
Lessons learned, always too late
I try and stay away from that place
Like some have said, slow in the head
Out of empty bottles and then into empty beds
Lessons learned, always too late
I try to make my way back to that place
