Loudon Wainwright III
Motel Blues
[Verse 1]
In this town television shuts off at two
What can a lonely rock n' roller do?
Ah the bed's so big and the sheets are clean
I've fancied you since I was nineteen
[Chorus]
Styrofoam bucket is full of ice
Come up to my motel room
Treat me nice
[Verse 2]
I don't want to make no late night New York calls
I don't want to stare at them ugly grass ? walls
Chronologically I know I'm young
But when I kissed you in the club
I bit your tongue
[Chorus]
I write a song for you and put it on my new LP
Come up to my motel room
And sleep with me
[Verse 3]
There's a bible in the drawer
Don't be afraid
I'll put up a sign to warn the cleaner
There's lots of soap and there's lots of towels
Nevermind those desk ? scowls
[Chorus]
I'll buy you breakfast
They'll think I'm your wife
Come up to my motel room and
Save my life
Come up to my motel room and
Save my life
