SPACE AGE LODGE

she was working tables at the space age lodge down in gila bend
one day she just lost it man, cashed in her tips and turned her apron in
she said hey boy is that your car
are you headed for phoenix or are you headed for mars
show me the road and baby I'll show you the stars

she ain't pretty
but she knows how to walk right
and while your standing in the shadows she's out there chasing the sun

you wake up in a motel 6 pushing out the poison in your brain
while the sun goes down on texas the lights are coming up on galveston bay
well it ain't much to look at but at least it floats
show me the water baby I'll show you everything I know

she ain't pretty
but she knows how to walk right
and while your standing in the shadows she's out there chasing the sun
the miami bar's a bonafide freak show when those nights stay hot
and that girl over in the corner never smiles man but she sure laughs a lot
she says we all get old too soon
beneath a big fat cuban moon
it really doesn't matter cause I'm leaving here real soon anyway

she ain't pretty
but she knows how to walk right
and while your standing in the shadows she's out there chasing the sun
