Motels pass by in their neon blur

The radio plays that song like sweet melodies

They swim around in the rear view mirror

I catch your eye like a falling star

I feel delirious, you're so mysterious

You got me in a dream by the sea

Where the nights lick your skin

And the stars burn in dark sunshine

You the ultimate, you are the infinite

Crossing state lines in a rush

You turn the heat up and I'm already flushed

I hum a lullaby to the girl so touched.

Summer nights burned some July's ago

The racetrack had its springtime in gold

All the kings horses and the men, especially your women

Bet on your lucky stars, your motel no. or a shot in the dark

Motel ceilings are my favorite mirror

They don't show what kind of girl I am

Just a blank slate to write my name

Sheets keep lies, names and lovers

Your motel no. Girl stays real good

Gangster Delilah, Bardot from the hood

Check in, check out another room did

Still the same girl that you did

Motel no.'s change

The girl between the sheets Still stay the same

Her name changes like the seasons sway

You stay forever, you stay still.
