(difford/tilbrook) |
|
He drove up to the motel |
|
In his town and country car |
|
He watched the working women |
|
With the field hands from the farm |
|
He walked into the lobby |
|
With his pleased to see you smile |
|
Scribbled on to the register |
|
His fictitious name and smiled |
|
The footsteps of a young girl |
|
Came tapping along the hall |
|
The outline of his features |
|
Were shadowed on the wall |
|
She stood a little nervous |
|
Half lit by the neon light |
|
That flashed in many colours |
|
Through the darkness of the night |
|
The skin on his face |
|
Like a well worn saddle |
|
Smiled as he said goodnight |
|
At the melody motel |
|
It was business as usual |
|
As the girls wiped the tears from their eyes |
|
His shirt lay by his bedside |
|
His jeans down by his feet |
|
She swallowed hard and mumbled |
|
With the key between her teeth |
|
On went the television |
|
The picture flickering slow |
|
Top cat in the alley way |
|
As they sat there all alone |
|
He drove back up his driveway |
|
In his town and country car |
|
His wife was cooking chicken |
|
With a baby in her arms |
|
The smell of home cooked dinner |
|
Filled the air at home that night |
|
Screaming officer dibble |
|
In the tv's flickering light |
|
Slumped in his favourite armchair |
|
His face as grey as stone |
|
His feet up on the table |
|
Next to the chicken bones |
|
He seemed to show no feelings |
|
Picking corn out from his teeth |
|
Police down at the motel |
|
As the blood dried on the sheets |
