[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Checkin' in at the Sunset Motel
Key card's broke, but the night's a farewell
Mirror's cracked, got a ribbon of snow
Last night's girl said she had to go
Another city, another bed
Another thousand words I wish I never said

[Pre-Chorus]
The lights go down... the roar begins
But nobody sees where the sickness lives

[Chorus]
I got bedroom eyes... and suicide blues
A platinum leash and worn-out shoes
They scream my name, but they don't know the cost
Another pretty corpse is what I almost lost
Yeah, bedroom eyes... and the blues

[Verse 2]
Suitcase full of empty pill bottles
Handwritin' notes I wrote and then forgot to follow
My mama calls, I let it ring
Too ashamed to tell her what the glittering really means
Sold my soul for a backstage pass
Now I'm just a cowboy with a heart made of glass

[Pre-Chorus]
The groupies wait... the limo's here
But Jesus, I just want to disappear

[Chorus]
I got bedroom eyes... and suicide blues
A platinum leash and worn-out shoes
They scream my name, but they don't know the cost
Another pretty corpse is what I almost lost
Yeah, bedroom eyes... and the blues

[Bridge ]
See the boy from Ohio?
He just wanted to rock.
Now the mirror just shows a clown
Who forgot how to stop.

[Final Chorus]
I got bedroom eyes... [beat] ...and the suicide blues...
A gilded cage and nothin' to lose!
You want the legend? Here's the cost:
A lonely king who already lost
His bedroom eyes... his suicide blues...
Yeah..
