Rockabye Motel

Stranded and lost in a town she was born in
With a carnival stare, the most beautiful man gave her a warning
“c lemonade stand is a dead end street”
She said, “we'll run away, if you ask me I'll be your watermelon woman. There's only one thing you should know....”

That night the stars they fell on Main Street you should have seen them
He said “if I'm the king of this town, you're the queen of my sulphur kingdom”
cnd on the run down roof of the Rockabye
They made love on a blanket of vines
“I know you now, believe me,” she said
“cnd if you ever want to roam....

Just don't leave me darling in no Rockabye Motel
Let me down easy and lonely, baby some place else
Honey these four walls they've seen too much, they ring too much, they mean too much
Don't leave me in no Rockabye Motel”

Well the years went by and the lines on her face deepened
From more and more nights all alone calling Rockabye home not sleeping
He said “let the windows break on the unmade bed, let the vines grow, forgotten, like old friends
I'm the only thing that matters.”
She said “I still love you so....

Just don't leave me darling in no Rockabye Motel
Let me down easy and lonely, baby some place else
Honey these four walls they've seen too much, they ring too much, they mean too much
Don't leave me in no Rockabye Motel”

Late one night the car in the drive was running
There was screaming inside, there were flashes of light where the gun went off
cnd she burned all that was left of the stone front cell, just a vine covered bed and a decade of hell
“I know you now, you liar.”
Oh and sometimes late at night
You can still hear her crying....

“Don't leave me darling in no Rockabye Motel
Let me down easy and lonely, baby some place else
Honey these four walls they've seen too much, they ring too much, they mean too much
Don't leave me in no Rockabye Motel.”
