Paying at the holloway   It's 35 dollars a night   Check in through a man named kim   He's got a call and an angry wife      And i can hear   The spanish screams   Of girlfriends in the other rooms   Who are not like me      And they say   Make no regrets   Don't slow down   This time      Upstairs in a plastic room   Half-stare and watching   Old cartoons   I turn down the bed      Waiting an hour or more   For footsteps   And an open door   I take off my watch      And i hope you come back safe this time   From your copping spree   In little mexico   Underneath an l.a. traffic light      And they say   Make no regrets   Don't slow down   This time      I feel you staring down at me   You lean to burn a cigarrete   And i roll up my sleeve   And you say you'll never leave      And i'll never get away as long as i keep still   And i hold my breath   And with the shame   I fall down into sleep      And they say   Make no regrets   Don't slow down   This time
