Somewhere Near El Paso

There was a vending machine
It was obscene
Sold a build-your-own tuna sandwich thing
So I had a cereal bar in my blood-stained bed instead
Yes
There was a soda machine
Had a turquoisey-sheen (shining)
Equally as insulting as the tuna sandwich thing
And I had no desire whatsoever in purchasing anything
And the guys were laughing, buying something
That was a bad decision That was a bad decision
There was a laundry machine, working
Working, yes it was working
And the half-lit Denny's sign was weirdly comforting
Tried getting in
That was a bad decision
That was a bad decision
We were driving down the highway near El Paso
Stopped at a gas station
Two guys had just won forty bucks
On a scratch card, filling up
With gasoline, I was observing them
Said he'd take it to the whorehouse that evening
Poor girl deserves a warning
And his iced tea was yellowing
That was a bad decision
That was a bad decision
