lyrics

Roach Motel


We were just some dirtbag kids
getting high on the sly.
We lived in a tent
in the thick of the woods
where no one could find.

We lived in our own world
we made our own worlds
in our heads.
When I see it in my dreams
I can see that fire again.

I met you down by the pond
where the swans and ducks
and muck all mingled.
We covered our tracks
as we trekked through the trail
and we kept our spot
good and hidden.

Whenever we'd feel like
we'd had just enough of it all
we'd meet by the trees
the ones that made your sister sneeze
and soon enough we were free
just you and me, you and me, we--
while the other kids were loitering
down by the mall
you and me, king and queen of the woods
had it all.
We never had much
but we conserved what we had.
We'd make it last a week
that last pinch in the bag.

We've lost the woods
and we've grown old
blunted by the rigmarole--
but I'll never forget
the soul, and that sweet, rank smell
of our dirty roach motel.

We lived in our own world
we made our own worlds
in our heads.
When I see it in my dreams
I can see that fire again.
We lived in our own world
we made our own worlds
in our heads.
When I see it in my dreams
I can see that fire again.
