Zoo Lion sobers up and starts to scream and shout

A little dose of home-fire got him all smoothed out

Melancholy wine-soaked tenderness

She hated it here and she couldn't care less



Prisonyard stares and Fleur-De-lis tattoos

Cannibal are saving all their bones for soup

Eating with my fingers and sucking hulls of ships

My parasite don't deserve no better than this



The Golden Rim Motor Inn

Soft water and a color TV

So consumed with the shape I'm in

Can't enjoy the luxury



She says, "Why are you partial to that Playboy con?

When you can see me naked anytime you want?"

If I had loads of money to make me tame and sour

I could pay you to remind me of my baby by the hour



Zoo Lion sobers up and starts to scream and shout

A little dose of home-fire got him all smoothed out

If this is where it all starts getting good

Then I'll be here waiting for you, like I said I would



The Golden Rim Motor Inn

Soft water and a color TV

So consumed with the shape I'm in

Can't enjoy the luxury



The luxury
