Hotel Fire

ten dollars for the room
old blankets smell like old perfume
then love checks in, trips a wire
and skips the bill, sets a fire
leaves a 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 comes down
a rented room, a borrowed town
that burns up 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...
