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...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 possesions 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 palce
All ......
In the big sleeping house
Painted white
Facing south
With the ghost to grin at you
Afternoon
Now please get out
