Motel Motel - Harlem lyrics

rate me

Somewhere there's a town

Where the roads are covered in red and violet roses

And the people sleep through a thousand years of sadness

Lord you couldn't wake them if you wanted to

An Indian told me

I am older then the road I am on

I asked him a question

He said "no you tell me where you come from"

Then I turned to Julie

In a casino built in restaurant

She says I'm lucky because I've always had a home

A woman to hold me

When I get stoned

I may feel lonely

But I don't know what it's like to be alone

Until I see the bottom

Somewhere there's a town

Where the roads are covered in red and violet roses

And the people sleep through a thousand years of sadness

Lord you couldn't wake them if you wanted to

I hope I'm not there when you do

I hope I'm in some other life

Because I don't want to see their faces

Looking so displaced

So close your eyes and say goodnight

An Indian told me

I am older then the road I am on

So I went back to New York

The city where I come from

Where the people look at me

Like I'm somebody else's problem

Moving back to Harlem<br />

<br />
