He drove up to the motel 
In his town and country car 
He watched the working women 
With the field hands from the farm 
He walked into the lobby 
With his pleased to see you smile 
Scribbled on to the register 
His fictitious name and smiled 
The footsteps of a young girl 
Came tapping along the hall 
The outline of his features 
Were shadowed on the wall 
She stood a little nervous 
Half lit by the neon light 
That flashed in many colours 
Through the darkness of the night 

The skin on his face 
Like a well worn saddle 
Smiled as he said goodnight 
At the melody motel 
It was business as usual 
As the girls wiped the tears from their eyes 

His shirt lay by his bedside 
His jeans down by his feet 
She swallowed hard and mumbled 
With the key between her teeth 
On went the television 
The picture flickering slow 
Top cat in the alley way 
As they sat there all alone 

He drove back up his driveway 
In his town and country car 
His wife was cooking chicken 
With a baby in her arms 
The smell of home cooked dinner 
Filled the air at home that night 
Screaming Officer Dibble 
In the TV's flickering light 

Slumped in his favourite armchair 
His face as grey as stone 
His feet up on the table 
Next to the chicken bones 
He seemed to show no feelings 
Picking corn out from his teeth 
Police down at the motel 
As the blood dried on the sheets
