Deguello Motel

Lyrics

I live in a room with a green radio Curled in the womb of a 29-year-low Four walls from heaven and one sin from hell In Room 17 at Deguello Motel The desk clerk's a jerk An old carnival fella I asked, "Where you from?" He said, "Lake Isabella" I told him I'd been there, but I never had He looked at the clock and I signed the pad He said no dogs allowed So I bought me a fish He lives by my bed in a souvenir dish Swims round in circles And eats once a day And looks a lot like my еx-wife's fiancé And I live in a room with a green radio Curled in thе womb of a 29-year-low Four walls from heaven and one sin from hell In Room 17 at Deguello Motel And there's a wasteland across the highway Where the lot lizards roam and the big diesels stay The cops ask me questions and I tell 'em jokes And that fat one he's always bummin' my smokes And the swimmin' pool water is Chuck Berry green And the water pipes rattle like a pinball machine The wall's are blood red and the sheets are Velveeta And that girl in one-twelve she goes by Juanita Juanita's a dancer, she does the naked ballet I keep an eye on things while she's away She spends all her money And half of mine too Trying to get high enough to get naked for you And I live in a room with a green radio Curled in the womb of a 29-year-low Four walls from heaven and one sin from hell In Room 17 at Deguello Motel There's an old Mexican curse this place is named after And I heard it once, in a box office disaster The duke told his boys Said it means leave or die I don't know much spanish But John Wayne don't lie And I live in a room with a green radio Curled in the womb of a 29-year-low Four walls from heaven and one sin from hell In Room 17 at Deguello Motel I'm singin' like a pearl in a bottle of crell (?) In Room 17 at Deguello Motel
