lyrics

Dead motel

1

Hold the line, hold the line she said down the phone
Come outside, come outside of your window
Stay the night, keeping warm by the neon lights
Come with me we can leave before the sun rise

Chorus

Meet me at the dead motel
Meet me at the dead motel

2

Hold the line, hanging on by your telephone wire
Come outside, and I’ll find you by the neon lights
The cowboy said your eyes are in such a state
Grab your boots come and fly by the sunlight
C

Meet me at the dead motel
Meet me at the dead motel

Break

Hey pilgrim
Hey pilgrim
Hey pilgrim
Meet me at the dead motel
Meet me at the dead motel
Chorus
Meet me at the dead motel
Meet me at the dead motel
Meet me at the dead motel
Meet me at the dead motel after midnight I saw you there
