"Diamond Motel" lyrics Kristian Bush Lyrics "Diamond Motel"
I'm staying at the air conditioned Diamond Motel
Drinking too much, feeling pretty swell
Right off highway 86 the road to Mexicali
Motorhomes cut through the Imperial Valley
There's a pink neon sign glowing like a jewel
Santa Ana wind blew the "D" into the pool
I laugh at everything 'cause reality is cruel
If you take it all so serious you feel just like a fool
It sparkles like a diamond in the desert sun
No one will ever find you, you're safe from everyone
The say one man's heaven is another man's hell
What is real and what's a dream?
Somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
Somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
Lies the diamond motel
It's a hundred twenty-two at 4:30 today
All a boy can do is hunker down in the shade
But the nights out here are magic and the sky is full of stars
As clear as the tequila here at Las Flores Bar
And it sparkles like a diamond in the desert sun
No one ever finds you, you'll be safe from everyone
The say one man's heaven is another man's hell
What is real and what's a dream?
Somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
Somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
Lies the diamond motel
Hey we're eating a Teresa's where the campesinos go
We speak a little Spanish, just enough to know
And it sparkles like a diamond in the desert sun
No one will ever find you, you'll be safe from everyone
The say one man's heaven is another man's hell
But some days I just can't tell
I'm somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
Somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
'Cause it sparkles like a diamond in the desert sun
No one will ever find me, I'll safe from everyone
The say one man's heaven is another man's hell
What is real and what's a dream?
Somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
Somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
At the Diamond Motel
That's right, pour me another one
