Loveless Motel
It used to be a motel
Now they serve biscuits and t-shirts
I bring my own tea bag
I don't trust the coffee
But the biscuits are delicious
They come eight to a plate with a big block of butter
and homemade peach preserves
And I wish you were here, my arrogant lover
I'd make you eat grits and the red-eyed gravy
I'd make you sit down with the southern ladies and
their blue pantsuits
I'd talk about Jesus
Talk about the weather
Watch you squirm as I told them we were married with two girls
I'd say you were in trucking
And I was a teacher
In a Christian school where the kids are good
And they don't do drugs and they save themselves
before they're married
I wouldn't tell them you had a wife
That wasn't me and we just had sex
And they wouldn't be impressed if I told them you knew Lou Reed
And the stars upon the walls look down at me like gods
There's Ernest Borgnine and Billy Ray Cyrus and my favorite Minnie Pearl
So I go for the coffee
It's not bad just a little weak
And I ask the waitress for another plate of the famous biscuits
She said you must have a bottomless pit
I said you don't know the half of it
Lately I've been so hungry
And the stars upon the wall look down at me like gods
Minnie she just shakes her head
She said
Motel sin amor
Solía ser un motel
Ahora sirven galletas y camisetas
Traigo mi propia bolsita de té
No confío en el café
Pero las galletas son deliciosas
Vienen ocho en un plato con un gran bloque de mantequilla
y mermelada casera de durazno
Y desearía que estuvieras aquí, mi amante arrogante
Te haría comer sémola y salsa de ojos rojos
Te haría sentarte con las damas sureñas y
sus trajes pantalón azules
Hablaría de Jesús
Hablaría del clima
Te vería retorcerte mientras les decía que estábamos casados con dos niñas
Diría que trabajabas en camiones
Y yo era maestra
En una escuela cristiana donde los niños son buenos
Y no consumen drogas y se reservan
antes de casarse
No les diría que tenías esposa
Eso no era yo y solo tuvimos sexo
Y no estarían impresionados si les dijera que conocías a Lou Reed
Y las estrellas en las paredes me miran como dioses
Está Ernest Borgnine y Billy Ray Cyrus y mi favorita Minnie Pearl
Así que voy por el café
No está mal, solo un poco débil
Y le pido a la mesera otro plato de las famosas galletas
Ella dijo que debes tener un pozo sin fondo
Yo dije que no tienes ni idea
Últimamente he tenido tanta hambre
Y las estrellas en la pared me miran como dioses
Minnie solo sacude la cabeza
Ella dijo
