Deadline 54 - Nightshift

Life isn't as good as before he was grown
But all his best years they were spent in this town
The street he grew up in he knows it by heart
Back where the old theater is falling apart
He knows the train he just has to take it
Twenty past five, one day he might make it
So bittersweet, oh he knows
This ain't the life he chose

Woah, he works the nightshift at the Star Hotel alone
Woah, small-town blues, run-down shoes he has outgrown
And the moonlight, falling through the window
Bright as never seen before
Every place here, stuck in limbo
But in his dreams, he's wanting more

But all his friends, they have left long ago
And all those passing by have started to slow
It's a ghost town and it has been for years
But he won't admit, cause that's what he fears
The rooms stay empty, and he keeps shifts spending
Nothing to do, just time never ending
But somewhere else, he can't ignore
He could be so much more

Woah, he works the nightshift at the Star Hotel alone
Woah, small-town blues, run down shoes he has outgrown
And the moonlight, falling through the window
Bright as never seen before
Every place here, stuck in limbo
But in his dreams, he's wanting more

The neon sign
Vacancy free
Starts to rust
Starting soon to disappear
Oh yeah
Disappear, disappear

What are you waiting for
Cause the train is not waiting anymore
You have been here before
But the train is not waiting anymore

Woah, he works the nightshift at the Star Hotel alone
Woah, small-town blues, run-down shoes he has outgrown
And the moonlight, falling through the window
Bright as never seen before
Every place here, stuck in limbo
But in his dreams, he's wanting more
