Hell's Motel Lyrics - Singles - Md. 45

An old man cuts his face 

But not because the razor's dull 

It's from his hands shaking 

From the lack of what he's taking 

Not like an old man's memories 

His wrongs are still and forever 

Hoping mistakes will fade with the sun 

But no surprise, they never do 

Hoping mistakes will fade with the sun 

They never do at Hell's Motel 

Lord, please spread my wings 

I want to fly away 

I don't want to die on the vine 

Lord, please smile on me 

I don't want to live forever 

But I don't want to die on the vine 

Never talks about the past 

How he could hold a scalpel 

Mighty hippocratic oath 

How he sold himself for naught 

He lived when they lived 

And he died when they died, too 

Accepting the new sacred calf of the pagans 

As we all die on the vine 

Accepting the new sacred calf of the pagans 

That's life in Hell's Motel 

Oh Lord, please spread my wings 

I want to fly away 

But I don't want to die on the vine 

Oh Lord, won't You smile on me? 

I don't want to live forever 

I just don't want to die on the vine 

And tonight he'll close his eyes 

Hoping the sun will rise again 

And all will be forgiven 

And this was all just a dream 

But the walls to the motel are thin 

And next door someone's getting beaten 

Tears for the unknown are seeds that are sown 

And we're all on the run 

Tears for the unknown are seeds that are sown 

This ain't life at Hell's Motel 

Hell's Motel 

This ain't life 

In Hell's Motel
