There's lovers in the bedroom next door
You can hear 'em through the paper walls
"I'm 'bout to cum soon, baby"
"No, wait for me"
"Okay, now"
And the hallways smell just like bleach
And the clerk told me a joke
I have sinned, I have sin one thousand times
Lord forgave me 'fore I woke
Baby
Baby
Baby

Baby
And Meg's out on the Mulholland
She's smoking a cigarette
Reading books all about the ballet
While drawing a bath
Rick and James are down in the valley
And both are just waking up
I had the same bad dream all over again
Well, you're okay now, so shut up
And they have sugar instead of sand
On the beaches beneath our feet
And the clerk is never not working
So, if you go out tonight, leave your key
And Ray Ray's down in the canyon
Up late again, making noise
Hosting a box full of strangers
I'll call your daddy, no call me boy
Call me Texas, call me Georgia
Call me bittersweet Tennessee
I am not who, what or where I'm from
But keep it simple, make it easy on me
Baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
And life is not some fairy tale
Or a Bible that God hands us
Put your hands around my throat and ask me what's my name
I look me in the eye, I'll tell you Kansas
There's a tightness in my chest
And a new spark in my cadence
When I die, bury me beneath the concrete
Near the beach in Little LA
Baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
And meet me in the morning
And dance me through my days
Put a dress, come midnight
And call me by my name
And life is not some fairy tale
Some story book you wrote
Oh, it leads you by the heart
And it comes to you
