Here it come now here it come now here it come
At the Honespot Motor Lodge where all the stains have their own
stories
there’s a girl black shopping bag swaying with her hips syncopated gate lollipop eyes
read the numbers on the doors
It’s that place that she calls
home
I think I’ll stop here for the night
try not to make up my own stories
about the bed sheets try not to think about the slick greased remote control
Get to bed now get to bed now get to bed
Watch some TV Discovery all about the common housefly
If I had 600 eyes I’d be up on the ceiling
Next door room forty-four I saw her key turn there today
The blue light before dawn
Desperation
Last chance cigarette
Tail lights deep deep red
Dreading daybreak
Happy to be
alive
Here she comes now here she comes now here she comes

Sounds like an old song
It’s a place and time I’ve never known
What is it about?
Flowers that never bloom
Did you pay the bills in the morning?
Yeah, with a paper napkin
Then I stole the flowers,
digits and lipstick
adorning the window of
the room next
door
I know they raised you right
Cuz you put up a fight
I’d like to see you win
Summer nights and gin
Another drink with me
And I’ll let you be
Oh this rippling river, its hypnotic waves
I’d like to stay and stay and stay and stay and stay, yeah
Then you can go home
I’ll just sit here alone
A little drop of sin
Let’s the devil in
Oh this wicked river, it reflects my ways
and I could stay and stay and stay and stay and stay, yeah
