alive in there

It's a dry heat (that) blew him through town
Why would a service station throw it's shadow down?
Does anybody live here?
Is there anyone alive in here?

Night falls in, flashlights' glare
Reflects off glass, shows a hollow stare
Does anybody live there?
Is there anyone alive in there?

That road leads somewhere new, his time will come at last
For now he'll check that room, for now he'll stare right past
Nobody lives there
There's nothing alive in there
