Pelican State - Heartbreak Motel Lyrics

Hungry eyes
A little bruised and tired
A little company in a flask
And the only sound
Shabby wooden arms rotating steadily from the ceiling
But when morning comes
A spotlight runs past
Coffee-spattered blinds
Heartbreak Motel
Knows me too well
I'm a bitter happiness
And an empty, ugly mess
Oh, pickin' up, pickin' up pieces of my old tune
Oh, pickin' up, pickin' up pieces of words I used to own
I do
I do
Dandy nights deliver
Short-term heights
A bitter aftertaste
On my pillow
'Cause when morning comes
A stranger shuns
My unreserved love
Heartbreak Motel
Knows me too well
I'm a bitter happiness
And an empty, ugly mess
Oh, pickin' up, pickin' up pieces of my old tune
Oh, pickin' up, pickin' up pieces of words I used to own
I do
I do
I do
I do
Sketchy sinner met a good girl
Saw a glimmer in her blue eyes
That his loneliness might end
But she met another one and moved on
Heartbreak Motel
Knows me too well
I'm a bitter, lonely man
And ashamed of what I am
Without you

Hungry eyes
A little bruised and tired
A little company in a flask
And the only sound
Shabby wooden arms rotating steadily from the ceiling
But when morning comes
A spotlight runs past
Coffee-spattered blinds
Heartbreak Motel
Knows me too well
I'm a bitter happiness
And an empty, ugly mess
Oh, pickin' up, pickin' up pieces of my old tune
Oh, pickin' up, pickin' up pieces of words I used to own
I do
I do
Dandy nights deliver
Short-term heights
A bitter aftertaste
On my pillow
'Cause when morning comes
A stranger shuns
My unreserved love
Heartbreak Motel
Knows me too well
I'm a bitter happiness
And an empty, ugly mess
Oh, pickin' up, pickin' up pieces of my old tune
Oh, pickin' up, pickin' up pieces of words I used to own
I do
I do
I do
I do
Sketchy sinner met a good girl
Saw a glimmer in her blue eyes
That his loneliness might end
But she met another one and moved on
Heartbreak Motel
Knows me too well
I'm a bitter, lonely man
And ashamed of what I am
Without you
