Lyric
Swingin’ doorsSawdust floors A heartache drowns as the whiskey pours There’s a hole in the wall From some free for all The ringin’ crack of that old cue ballI’ve been fallin’ in hereFor what seems like years Where the tears and the lonely belong And wonder what’s going on Beyond that blue neonI hear tell there’s people out there who don’t knowWhat losin’ you means They don’t have a heart That just falls apart At the mention of your nameI heard they pretendThe world didn’t end Right when I knew you were gone I guess life still goes on Beyond that blue neonI hear tell there’s people out there who don’t knowWhat losin’ you means They don’t have a heart That just falls apart At the mention of your nameBut it’s a quarter ’til twoAnd I don’t have a clue As to what I’ll do from now ’til dawn I wonder what’s going on Beyond that blue neonLord, what’s going onBeyond that blue neon
