Motel

Seeing through the static
And everything erratic
Can sometimes sharpen your view

Promises are broken
And words left unspoken
You did what you had to do

Well, I've been at this motel
For the better part of hell
And the future I can't even see

Your reflection, you say
Always gives you away
And the past is the past, let it be

And it's just like last year
And just like next year
And it's all the same in between
Oh I - Yeah I - I don't know what I believe

I've been watching the window
And watching TV
But so far there's nothing to see

Parking lot is empty
Just like my brain
I wish I had somewhere to be

Well, I guess it must be Christmas
And I don't care
It feels like September 'round here

Clarence took the car
So I headed to the bar
But I can't even finish this beer

And it's just like last year
And just like next year
And it's all the same in between
Oh I - Yeah I - I don't know what I believe

And those silver bells are ringing today
Silver bells are ringing
And I'm just here singing away

Now four o'clock is near
You'll be sending us cheer
We've been hoping to see you all day

Your remorse and good will
Are convenient and still
We'll take what you're giving today

We've been waiting for something
To spur us along
And this is as good as it gets

Yeah, with one lucky pull
And a load of your bull
You expect us to all just forget

And it's just like last year
And just like next year
And it's all the same in between
Oh I - Yeah I - I don't know what I believe
Oh I - Yeah I - I don't know what I believe
