Mary Gauthier - Camelot Motel Lyrics
(Mary Gauthier/Keri Powers)He's lying on the double bed acting self-assuredIn his T-shirt ana his underwear he's barely said a wordShe pours a cup of coffee lights the day's first cigarettePicks up the phone and call her kids from the motel kitchenetteThere's two guys moving slowly in the room across the hallBoth their heads are pounding from last night's alcoholThey met in a chat room then they took it hereThey both go by pseudonyms and soon they'll disappearCheaters, liars, outlaws, and fallen angelsCome looking for the grace from which they fellThey hold on to each other in the darknessThe morning light is hell at the Camelot MotelHe met her at the pool hall the guys told him she was touchedNow she's ranting and she's raving about the Devil, Christ and suchHe's thinking about the highway and the way she begged last nightHe's wishing he had blown this dump before the morning lightCheaters, liars, outlaws, and fallen angels Comelooking for the grace from which they fellThey hold on to each other in the darknessThe morning light is hell at the Camelot MotelLancelot and Guenivere bang their bedpost in my earNeon lights the castle walls bug lights in the entry hallsI lie awake with a troubled mind thinking 'bout what I left behindMe and the royal denizens got damn good reasons for our sinsThere's a couple counting money in room 124They're wrapping 10's and 20's throwing 1's down on the floorThey're strung out and nervous, they jump at every little soundHe keeps picking up his pistol then putting his pistol downCheaters, liars, outlaws, and fallen angelsCome looking for the gracefrom which they fellThey hold on to each otherin the darknessThe morning light is hell
