[Verse]
Down in the tunnel where the light don't shine
Maroon walls dripping with borrowed time
Fornication whispers in the cracks of the stone
This ain't no place to be alone
[Chorus]
It's a tunnel of blues
Baby
Can't escape
Every step forward feels like a mistake
Maroon turns to black
Turns to gray
Turns to night
In this tunnel of blues
Ain't no end in sight
[Verse 2]
The echo laughs
It don't care who you are
Cigarette smoke curls like a falling star
Fornication's ghost leaves lipstick on the air
The deeper you go
The less you care
[Chorus]
It's a tunnel of blues
Baby
Can't escape
Every step forward feels like a mistake
Maroon turns to black
Turns to gray
Turns to night
In this tunnel of blues
Ain't no end in sight
[Bridge]
You crawl
You run
But the walls stay tight
The moon ain't visiting this place tonight
A lover's touch fades
Just a shadowy hue
Fornication leaves but the blues stay true
[Chorus]
It's a tunnel of blues
Baby
Can't escape
Every step forward feels like a mistake
Maroon turns to black
Turns to gray
Turns to night
In this tunnel of blues
Ain't no end in sight
