Rusty Screw

[Intro] [Chorus] Cold coffee on the shelf Talking to myself Empty street outside the door Got no place to go anymore Just a rusty screw in this big town Watching the city lights go down [Verse] The rain is on the window pane Washing down the old paint stain Radio plays a faded tune Underneath the pale moon A lullaby, my mother's sound As my fingers tap around [Pre-Chorus] Morning bills, they always call Evening bells, they watch me fall The city sleeps, a quiet hum Wondering where my life has come [Chorus] Cold coffee on the shelf Talking to myself Empty street outside the door Got no place to go anymore Just a rusty screw in this big town Watching the city lights go down [Verse] Old wood table, worn and deep Secrets that the shadows keep Every day, the same old grind Leaving memories behind Flickering light above my head Wishing I was safe in bed [Pre-Chorus] Morning bills, they always call Evening bells, they watch me fall The city sleeps, a quiet hum Wondering where my life has come [Chorus] Cold coffee on the shelf Talking to myself Empty street outside the door Got no place to go anymore Just a rusty screw in this big town Watching the city lights go down [Bridge] The world keeps spinning fast and free Doesn't stop to look at me My mother's song, a gentle grace Time can't erase this lonely place Just an old man, fading slow Nowhere left for me to go [Chorus] Cold coffee on the shelf Talking to myself Empty street outside the door Got no place to go anymore Just a rusty screw in this big town Watching the city lights go down [Outro]
