Mary Gauthier - Camelot Motel lyrics

(Mary Gauthier/Keri Powers) He's lying on the double bed acting self-a**ured In his T-shirt ana his underwear he's barely said a word She pours a cup of coffee lights the day's first cigarette Picks up the phone and call her kids from the motel kitchenette There's two guys moving slowly in the room across the hall Both their heads are pounding from last night's alcohol They met in a chat room then they took it here They both go by pseudonyms and soon they'll disappear Cheaters, liars, outlaws, and fallen angels Come looking for the grace from which they fell They hold on to each other in the darkness The morning light is hell at the Camelot Motel He met her at the pool hall the guys told him she was touched Now she's ranting and she's raving about the Devil, Christ and such He's thinking about the highway and the way she begged last night He's wishing he had blown this dump before the morning light Cheaters, liars, outlaws, and fallen angels Come looking for the grace from which they fell They hold on to each other in the darkness The morning light is hell at the Camelot Motel Lancelot and Guenivere bang their bedpost in my ear Neon lights the castle walls bug lights in the entry halls I lie awake with a troubled mind thinking 'bout what I left behind Me and the royal denizens got damn good reasons for our sins There's a couple counting money in room 124 They're wrapping 10's and 20's throwing 1's down on the floor They're strung out and nervous, they jump at every little sound He keeps picking up his pistol then putting his pistol down Cheaters, liars, outlaws, and fallen angels Come looking for the grace from which they fell They hold on to each other in the darkness The morning light is hell
