Past the edge of town
Out where the world ends
The desert gives the sky
Nothing but sadness
There's an old motel
The sign is a shimmering Venus
And even though she smiles
Her eyes are sad
A husband and his wife
Laugh in the darkness
He fumbles with the key
She wraps her hair around her fingers
They step into the room
By the light of the sidewalk
Throw the keys inside the drawer
Next to Gideon's bible
She says hey
Let's walk down by the swimming pool
Maybe we can have a beer
While the room cools down
You know I really love to be with you
There's a million stars tonight tonight
