    Story Behind the Song
    It was 3 am, after I had played a show at the
    old Coney Island High in NYC...nothing much
    was going on, so I went back to my room at the
    St. Mark's Hotel across the street. If you've
    ever been to the St. Mark's, you know where
    this song is coming from! Back in the 70's, it
    was the biggest needle joint you've ever
    seen...it's a little tamer now, but you still
    see some real characters around. I had nothing
    better to do, so I grabbed my Les Paul guitar
    and started singin about what was all around
    me.

    This version was recorded during the sessions
    for the 'Temptress' CD that never came out...
    it took only an hour or two for the basic
    tracks, then another few hours for the guitar
    solo overdubs, vocals and such. To be honest,
    I wasn't crazy about our producer's mix of the
    song here, but it still kicks ass! No one
    could ruin it! Well maybe if Creed or Korn
    was singing it, they could.... ha ha ;)

    Lyrics
    Theres stains on the sheets
    and there aint no cable TV
    no pictures on the wall
    and theres no damn bible to read
    the window looks out
    onto one, two, three brick walls
    the phone might work if a hooker doesnt call
    the sluts on First street pass on by
    their special skills can make you die
    the living dead are here and now
    down in MOTEL HELL

    got a call from my baby
    and she asked if Id come home
    I said there aint no way
    and I slammed down the phone
    all she wanted me for
    was my graciousness and charm
    my pretty little honey
    who was corn fed on the farm
    Im a busy guy, I aint got time
    for lovey dovey lemon- lime
    I hear the neighbors getting loud
    down in MOTEL HELL

    well the morning came
    and she showed up at my door
    she said shag me baby
    and threw me on the floor
    I got her in and out, missionary, 69
    she was moanin and groanin
    but the pleasure was all mine
    I thought I might try going home
    I figured out Im best alone
    forget that stuff that I once vowed
    down in MOTEL HELL
