lyrics

What’s going down at the Diplomat Motel?
Who knows the secrets, and why won’t they tell?
Will anyone answer that incessant bell?
Diplomat Motel…what the hell?

Heiresses and sly bellhops
Fallen priests and crooked cops
Meet where vacancies are high and chances are slim
Pez dispensers full of lead
Cocaine sewn into the beds
So many neon lights are out the sign just says “DIM”

What’s going down at the Diplomat Motel?
Who knows the secrets, and why won’t they tell?
Will anyone answer that incessant bell?
Diplomat Motel…what the hell?

Clocks are twelve years out of sync
Better tell time by the pimps
All the dirty parts are underlined in the bibles
Senators and movie stars
Pass through leaving bourbon scars
Where life is cheap and wifi’s unreliable

What’s going down at the Diplomat Motel?
Who knows the secrets, and why won’t they tell?
Will anyone answer that incessant bell?
Diplomat Motel…what the hell?

Instrumental bridge, then key change

Who’s getting screwed at the Diplomat Motel?
What on earth could give the radiator that smell?
A 12 carat diamond with 12 gauge clientele
Twenty dollar ticket to the 8th ring of hell
At least the pillows come with those free caramels
Diplomat Motel…what the hell?
