Lyrics

Once upon a time in a motel by the sea the breezes off the ocean smelled like rain
She compared the two of us to a movie on TV
How the story gets twisted and the ending ain't always easy to explain
And I thought about what she said and the way she looked on that motel bed
In the light of a late night movie
You could hear the waves crashing out on the shore you could taste the salt air on your skin
She was telling me she'd seen this one before
And it just go to show you how you can sit through some things again and again
And I thought about what she said and the way she looked on that motel bed
In the light of a late night movie
I felt like I was in that movie without a part to play
Just an extra without a line to say
When that movie ended another one came on, a budget mystery thriller film noir
I was wondering where to go and to sleep is where she'd gone
So I turned off the channel and I turned the ignition on in the car
And I thought about what she said and the way she looked on that motel bed
In the light of a late night movie
