The Motel

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
For we're living in a safety zoneDon't be holding back from meWe're living from hour to hour down hereAnd we'll take it when we canIt's a kind of living which recognizesThe death of the odourless manWhen nothing is vanity nothing's too slowIt's not Eden but it's no shamThere is no hellThere is no shameThere is no hellLike an old hellThere is no hellAnd it's lights up, boysLights up boysExplosion falls upon deaf earsWhile we're swimming in a sea of shamLiving in the shadow of vanityA complex fashion for a simple manAnd there is no hellAnd there is no shameAnd there is no hellLike an old hellThere is no hellAnd the silence flies on its brief flightA razor sharp crap shoot affairAnd we light up our livesAnd there's no more of me exploding youRe-exposing youLike everybody doRe-exploding youI don't know what to useMake somebody moveMe explodingMe exploding you
