lyrics
(a neon sign flickering) The motel sign hums VACANCY Two letters dark, like you and me You left your ring in the ashtray I've driven it three states away (away, away) We were gasoline in church clothes (amen) Everyone warned us — no one knows Vacancy — the neon glows Vacancy — the highway knows Vacancy — I'll leave it on A room for you when you are gone (vacancy... vacancy) Your denim jacket on the chair Half proof, half prayer, that you were there The TV snows on channel three It's still receiving more than me (more than me) We didn't end. We just ran out of road. (out of road, out of road) Vacancy — the neon glows Vacancy — the highway knows Vacancy — I'll leave it on A room for you when you are gone (vacancy... vacancy) (the sign flickers: VACANCY... VACANCY)
