I took forever Now I've arrived It is the sunset of my pride I took the slow lane To the west side Singing these blues for the whole ride She said we'd talk today I need this one to pay The golden goose is grey tonight I've tried to reach her Ms Marilyn Groves I gave her six or seven calls Ah but there's no answer No, nothing at all I smashed the phone against the wall So many different ways To use up all your days And this is how we spend our time At the Blue Motel Everyone's got something to sell At the Blue Motel Follow your dreams into the ground And you'll be found At the Blue Motel Oh but you should have seen me Down at The Ritz On brighter days and cooler nights The cash flowed like water I froze like ice The clientele did name my price Now salad days are done And without dollar one At least I've found a place to hide At the Blue Motel Everyone's got something to sell At the Blue Motel Follow your dreams into the ground And you'll be found At the Blue Motel At the Blue Motel Blue Motel
