The Gun Club - Give Up The Sun lyrics

My hotel is blue

beautiful ocean blue,

paint melting off the walls

and I can hardly breathe

young men nod against the palms

turn blue and fail to breathe,

but, I came here to see,

So,

Give up the Sun, Give up the Sun

One hundred thousand times

I live just to hear you say

(I live just for once to? I live just to want to?)

give up the sun, give up the sun...

Down along the beachline

gulls pick at bones and glass,

Old Jew remembers Broadway

among the tires and glass

I try to remember Broadway

I had a friend up there at last,

and she can't help me now,

So,

Give up the Sun, Give up the Sun

One hundred thousand times

I just want to hear you say

give up the sun, give up the sun...

(solo: Jeffreylee)

Out there, the sea makes love

waves pinwheel to the bay,

Oh, don't you leave me here

there's ghosts and rooms of pain

there's a storm out on the sea tonight

and bodies filled with pain

palm wind across the sea tonight

black with whirling pain

alone against the docks tonight

nobody knows my name,

and I can't go back again,

So,

Give up the Sun, Give up the Sun...
