Loveless Motel
Nashville, TN
she keeps her paintings in a big white van
she sips her mulberry tea from her mom’s chipped porcelain
she’s telling me about her 70s band
she’s telling me how brave i am
for checking into
the loveless motel
to find yourself a heaven,
you’ve gotta raise a little hell
i’m putting on my reddest for the lipstick lounge
and i'm hoping somebody will smear it
ended up singing my heart out
to a muse who looked like my mirror
wrecking my stockings like joni
guess the road is a little less lonely
the road leading to the
chorus
springwater dive
and broadway, baby
i can see the divide,
but i can feel the gravity
we checked into the loveless,
now we can’t ever leave
cause it gets into your blood
now we all bleed the same thing
out into our songs
we make the nights all the longer
a shot for each changing key
how could it be wrong
living life as a wanderer
when you can always check back into the
loveless motel
i found my piece of heaven
is being out here raising hell
cause i belong to the loveless motel
and i won’t know peace
cause the loveless is inside of me
