Her come-on was direct and strong, from a question to a kiss

She said she'd had a little much to drink, she didn't usually do this

But she was looking for another head to scalp tonight

And she had me right between her sights



I turned to face her as the jukebox clicked off, playing her favorite song

And she looked pretty in the low-lit bar but something was wrong

I saw a dull red neon sign flashing in her eyes

It said 'vacancy', she had motel eyes



Chorus:

They were black as the night and shone like a star

Fueled by the light from her medicine jar

I looked again, but there was nothing there but ice in her eyes

There's no disguisin' motel eyes



She had the angles all down pat, her average must be high

And though it could have been a pleasure, I just had to say goodbye

Though there was something wicked 'bout the way she flexed her thighs

She scared me with her motel eyes



chorus



(Solo)



She started sayin' something 'bout movement versus size

The sign kept on flashing in her motel eyes



chorus (with: 'There's no disguise for motel eyes')



Black as the night, black as the night - motel eyes
