lyrics

Well, I can be content in a motel
same old simple rooms I know so well.
Same old simple rooms and simple rules.
Motels are made for vagabonds and fools.

And I, I got nothing to hide.
Want to come with me on my never-ending highway ride?
And I, I got a coffee mug
and a field guide to North American bugs.
I think I'm gonna read myself to sleep,
slip into another dream so dark and deep.

Cause I can be at home in a motel.
The sound of the highway soothes me oh so well.
I give a shit about gymnasiums or pools.
Motels are made for vagabonds and fools.

And they, they got nothing on me
so I guess they'll have to let me be.
They, they got corrupted minds
and I'm only as crooked as the highway winds.
I'm only as crooked as the highway winds
and about as plain-spoken as the highway signs.

And I can be at home in a motel.
A private room is a private heaven or hell.
It's a haven from this world of rumors and rules.
Motels are made for vagabonds and fools.

And you, you may be a lot like me.
No one can tell you where to go or what to be
and you'd give up everything you ever owned just to be free
and you'd let the highway show you your destiny.
I've seen you at the truck stops looking lost,
but I've never heard you complain about the cost.

Cause you can be content in a motel.
Same old simple rooms you know so well.
Same old simple rooms and simple rules.
Motels are made for vagabonds and fools.

Paisley Nightmare Emeryville, California

One thing band. 2012 - 2017. Weird sounds inspired by the death of the hippie movement and the birth of punk rock. Skewed by disabilities I was dealing with at the time. These are all live single track recordings of the creature playing all of the instruments at once in its cave. Some has been taken down pending review by the artist ... more
