Hotel Fire

Hem


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 'bout the key 
Lock's busted, and the chain is free 
Light comes up, the sun goes down 
A rented room, a borrowed town 
That burns the memories to the ground 
With one more round, one more round 
One more round 

Ten miles 'til 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, one desire
