We went to a cheap hotel
A no soap no sleep hotel
The difference and for public scorn
In the dead town where we were born
How I hoped you wouldn't
Change your mind
But until it was time to find
She was even crazier than I
In the big sleeping house
Painted white, facing south
With the ghost to grin at you
Afternoon, now please get out
This the night before we've had a little
And we want some more
It changed the world and it makes us sweat
Make no promises make no threats
And I gave her what I give you now
It was weak and it was built on sand
And she [unverified] with both her hands
In the big sleeping house
Painted white, facing south
With the ghost to grin at you
Afternoon, now please get out
With the ghosts
I heard you ran off to America
She has position and possessions now
And I bet you can't remember how
In the big sleeping house
Painted white, facing south
We held my hands up to her face
And said damn this place
All [unverified]
In the big sleeping house
Painted white, facing south
With the ghost to grin at you
Afternoon, now please get out
