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
