Down an unfamiliar street in a blue-lit apartment,
c strange man stole my youth away
He said he knew the scene and understood my dreams
He said he'd make me a star
He was close to God, he said, and would be my personal savior
cnd other such nonsense I half believed
He stoked my pride and then stroked me,
cnd I did not know where it would lead
Well, I wanted so bad to be in the game
I would have done anything,
Even changed my name

I followed him down to the Blue Light Inn
To the house of dreams, the gates of sin
I had faith in the Blue Light Inn,
But what did I know? What did I know?

I sang and danced for him while he sat back and smiled
He said we two would go so far
He gave me magic potions to numb my mind
But through my haze, I still could see
That there were pornographic magazines on the table
I said to myself, girl, run while you're able
From the man and the Blue Light Inn
This house of dreams is the gate of sin
Run for your life from the Blue Light Inn
'cos only you can make yourself a star

So wherever you may be,
I hope you hear me now
Coming through the airwaves,
Through the stereo
There's just one thing that I want you to know,
Hey man, I got here on my own
I wanted so bad to be in the game,
But I would never sell my soul for fame

I went down to the Blue Light Inn
To the house of dreams, the gates of sin
cnd I had faith in the Blue Light Inn
But what did I know? What did I know?
