Motel Sadness (Reinvented) Lyrics

She kicked me out last night, with nothin' but a bag

Now I'm stuck in this motel, feelin' lower than a rag

The neon sign's flickerin', just like my broken dreams

And the walls are paper-thin, so I'm hearin' all the screams

In the next room over, there's a nightmare come alive

She's screamin' like a banshee, like she ain't gonna survive

And he's callin' her Mommy, in a voice so cold and mean

While I'm sittin' here wonderin', how'd I end up in this scene

Out in the parkin' lot, my Powerstroke's sittin' high

With polished rims that used to shine like the sky

But there's a man leanin' in, with a needle in hand

Usin' my rims as a mirror, shootin' up in the sand

He's takin' dirty puddle water, like it's his last breath

While I'm just holdin' on, tryin' to forget your theft

In the next room over, there's a nightmare come alive

She's screamin' like a banshee, like she ain't gonna survive

And he's callin' her Mommy, in a voice so cold and mean

While I'm sittin' here wonderin', how'd I end up in this scene

Saw cockroaches ridin' rats like they're horses in the night

Draggin' off my pizza boxes, givin' me a fright

Their menacing glares, like they're daring me to fight

But I'm too beat down to even turn on the light

I'm sittin' here thinkin', feelin' like a fool

For lettin' you have your side boy, thought I was bein' cool

Now I'm just a cuck, and I'm drownin' in regret

Wish I'd never let you have that damn safety net

I gave you too much freedom, thought love would keep us tight

But now I'm in this motel, alone every night

In the next room over, there's a nightmare come alive

She's screamin' like a banshee, like she ain't gonna survive

And he's callin' her Mommy, in a voice so cold and mean

While I'm sittin' here wonderin', how'd I end up in this scene

So here I am, in this broken-down place

With a heart full of sorrow and a tear-streaked face

Livin' in this motel where the walls close in tight

Guess I'll ride these blues till the mornin' light

In the next room over, there's a nightmare come alive

She's screamin' like a banshee, like she ain't gonna survive

And he's callin' her Mommy, in a voice so cold and mean

While I'm sittin' here wonderin', how'd I end up in this scene

So here I am, in this broken-down place

With heart full of sorrow, and a tear-streaked face

Livin' in this motel where the walls close in tight

Guess I'll ride these blues till the mornin' light
