Verse 1

It's these substandard motels on the, la-la-la-la-la

Corner of 4th and Fremont Street

Appealing only 'cause they're just that unappealing

Any practiced Catholic would cross themselves upon entering

The rooms have a hint of asbestos

And maybe just a dash of formaldehyde

And the habit of decomposing

Right before your very, la-la-la-la, eyes

Chorus

Along with the people inside

What a wonderful caricature of intimacy

Inside

What a wonderful caricature of intimacy

Post-Chorus

Tonight's tenants range from a lawyer and a virgin

Accessorizing with a rosary tucked inside her lingerie

She's getting a job at the firm come Monday

The missus will stay with the cheating attorney

Moonlighting aside, she really needs his money

A wonderful caricature of intimacy

Yeah, yeah

Verse 2

And not to mention the constable

And his proposition for that "virgin"

Yes, the one the lawyer met with on "strictly business"

As he said to the missus

Well, only hours before, after he had left

She was fixing her face in a compact

There was a terrible crash

There was a terrible crash

Between her and the badge

She spilled her purse and her bag

And held a "purse" of a different kind

Chorus

Along with the people inside

What a wonderful caricature of intimacy

Inside

What a wonderful caricature of intimacy

Bridge

There are no

Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses

It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses

At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains

And a few more of your least favorite things

Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses

It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses

At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains

And a few more of your least favorite things

Chorus

Inside

What a wonderful caricature of intimacy

Inside

What a wonderful caricature of intimacy

Cello Solo
Outro

Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses

It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses

At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains

And a few more of your least favorite things

Raindrops on roses and the girls in white dresses

And sleeping with the roaches and the taking best guesses

At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains

And a few more of your least favorite things
