An ode to one of the many shady motels in North Hollywood. Don't say we didn't warn you...
lyrics
Broken red neon Vacancy sign
Reflects on the street as cars drive by
Palms in the front to help disguise
All the fucked-up things that no one sees
That happens inside
Welcome Flamingo Motel
Bars on the window like a jail cell
Black hole bedroom where time stands still
Like you tripped and fell into the bottom of a wishing well
Pay by the hour discretion is advised
White stains on black sheets, wake up with pink eye
Blood on the rug from police raids and drive-bys
Scumbags gravitate to this place like shit and flies
Welcome Flamingo Motel
Bars on the window like a jail cell
Black hole bedroom where time stands still
Like you tripped and fell into the bottom of a wishing well
Some stay for a night or make it their home
Arrive by mistake or knew all along
One-star paradise for a certain kind of folk
Burn out all day until you're 10 feet below
