lyrics

How ‘bout you meet me at the Motel 6
I wanna smell the smell of strangers on the linen
Flippin through the late night TV

There’s a pool next to the parking lot
Can I use your toothpaste, I forgot mine
I heard in the lobby that a D movie was shot here

Shit, it’s 8:55
Should we late scramble to the scrambled eggs
Bleary-eyed
High on memory in the muscles

You look so pastiche
With your Lipton tea
Infomercial TV
Where the hell are we?

I feel kinda like I’m photoshopped
Or a UFO landing somewhere
I forgot your charger in the room
Ask Harold for the key card, Harold for the key card

How ‘bout we dress up like the Shining twins
I wanna play pretend and hitch a ride out of this skin
Just for a moment
Memory in the muscles, memory in the muscles

I’m addicted to the almost there
The rushy flood on the way to somewhere
With no real rush to get there
Memory in the muscles, memory in the muscles
I’m so sick of going nowhere
Memory in the muscles, memory in the muscles

You look so alive
Fingers wrapped ‘round mine
Howling at the neon lights
Howling at the neon lights
Howling at the neon lights
Howling at the neon lights
