Hotel Fire Lyrics - Hem

(Dan Messe/Gary Maurer) 

Ten dollars for the room 

Torn blankets smell like old perfume 

Then love checks in, trips a wire, 

Skips the bill, sets a fire 

And leaves the wreck that's left behind 

With one desire, one desire 

Don't worry 'bout the key 

Lock's busted, and the chain is free 

Light comes up, the sun goes down 

A rented room, a borrowed town 

That burns the memories to the ground 

With one more round, one more round 

One more round 

Ten miles 'til the dawn 

A sign lights up and it pulls you on 

So strip the bed, slash the tire 

A broken home, a hotel fire 

You ask yourself again, am I 

Your one desire, one desire
