it's these substandard motels on the (lalalalala)

corner of 4th and fremont street.

appealing only because they are just that 

un-appealing

any practiced catholic would cross themselves 

upon entering.

the rooms have a hint of asbestos 

and maybe just a dash of formaldehyde,

and the habit of decomposing right 

before your very (lalalala) eyes.



along with the people inside

what a wonderful caricature of intimacy

inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy



tonight tenants range from:

a lawyer and a virgin 

accessorizing with a rosary tucked 

inside her lingerie 

she's getting a job at the firm come monday.

the mrs. will stay with the cheating attorney

moonlighting aside,

she really needs his money.

oh, wonderful caricature of intimacy.



yeah (yeah)



and not to mention,

the constable, and his proposition,

for that "virgin"

yes, the one the lawyer met with 

on "strictly business"

as he said to the mrs. well,

only hours before,

after he had left, she was fixing her face 

in a compact.

there was a terrible crash 

(there was a terrible crash)

between her and the badge

she spilled her purse and her bag,

and held a "purse" of a different kind.

there are no raindrops on roses 

and girls in white dresses.

it's sleeping with roaches 

and taking best guesses 

at the shade of the sheets 

and before all the stains

and a few more of your least favorite things.
