At the cockroach motel

where the rodents aren't for sale

in room four someone's screaming

my T.V. don't come in well!

As bedposts smash the wall

someone's contracting gonorrhea

and brings home to the house to the lovely spouse

who says

I love and it's good to see ya.

They cannot be sanctified.

Happy true love, half an hour devour

30 minutes sweet for a lifetime sour

Happy true love, half an hour, it's now her

picking up the dirt that don't wash off in the shower.

They always get you when you're sleeping.

They'll get you when they sleep.

They'll forget you when they're sleeping.

Downstairs in the lounge, there ain't no one around

through tidal waves of wiskey

you can hear the ice cubes sound.

The bartender smiles, though he'll do just what it takes

while a blond smokes down her cigarette

to the lipstick mark she makes.

They cannot be sanctified.
