Hotel Fire

Ten dollars for the room
Torn blankets smell like old perfume
Then love checks in, trips a wire
Skips the bill, sets a fire
And leaves the wreck that’s left behind
With one desire, one desire…
Don’t worry about the key
Lock’s busted and the chain is free
Light comes up, the sun goes down
A rented room, a borrowed town
We’ll burn the memories to the ground
With one more round, one more round, one more round
Ten miles until the dawn
A sign lights up and it pulls you on
So strip the bed, slash the tire —
A broken home, a hotel fire
You ask yourself again, am I
Your one desire, one desire, one desire…
