lyrics

here's one for the record
here's one for the spent
here's one for all liars harlots
kings and queens and the fraudulent
if i'm poor in spirit
give me a second chance
i could rape you with a single look
kill you with a glance

come up to my motel room
it ain't dying but related
come up to my motel room
it all gets so complicated
wait for a wake up call
put the demons all to flight
if i'm stuck in this motel room
can you save my life

the art is so generic here
the decor and the drapes
why the decorator ought to get two consecutive life terms
for stuff like this
dick is next door lying jane
who he's never seen before
she'll even moan with the price is right
it says so on her business card

can you come and pick up
another skeleton man
i been cutting my wrist cutting my wrist
on a little sickness within
can you come and heal me up
in each and every way
in that gideon's bible there's blood spilled
on each and every page
