The Motel Lyrics by David Bowie
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
For we're living in a safety zone
Don't be holding back from me
We're living from hour to hour down here
And we'll take it when we can

It's a kind of living which recognizes
The death of the odourless man
When nothing is vanity nothing's too slow
It's not Eden but it's no sham

There is no hell
There is no shame
There is no hell
Like an old hell
There is no hell

And it's lights up, boys
Lights up boys

Explosion falls upon deaf ears
While we're swimming in a sea of sham
Living in the shadow of vanity
A complex fashion for a simple man

And there is no hell
And there is no shame
And there is no hell
Like an old hell
There is no hell

And the silence flies on its brief flight
A razor sharp crap shoot affair
And we light up our lives

And there's no more of me exploding you
Re-exposing you
Like everybody do
Re-exploding you

I don't know what to use
Make somebody move
Me exploding
Me exploding you
For we're living in a safety zone   Don't be holding back from me   We're living from hour to hour down here   And we'll take it when we can      It's a kind of living which recognizes   The death of the odourless man   When nothing is vanity nothing's too slow   It's not Eden but it's no sham      There is no hell   There is no shame   There is no hell   Like an old hell   There is no hell      And it's lights up, boys   Lights up boys      Explosion falls upon deaf ears   While we're swimming in a sea of sham   Living in the shadow of vanity   A complex fashion for a simple man      And there is no hell   And there is no shame   And there is no hell   Like an old hell   There is no hell      And the silence flies on its brief flight   A razor sharp crap shoot affair   And we light up our lives      And there's no more of me exploding you   Re-exposing you   Like everybody do   Re-exploding you      I don't know what to use   Make somebody move   Me exploding   Me exploding you
