Panama City Motel Lyrics

Don't you know I need a place to stay
It's only fifteen bucks a day
I didn't wanna end up here
But now I guess I need to stayRiver red, runs like lead
And the smell of kerosene in my head
Stuck in here in this shit hole
Reading foreign magazines insteadBut senor, I only have ten dollars
"Can't you give me a room for the night?"
We argue about currency, and then
He says, "I can stay for the night"In this Panama city motel
I came out on the freeway againA woman approaches in Barcelona
Walking down the Diagonalia
Spaghetti concrete overpasses
I keep grasping for something familiar"But senor, I only have ten dollars
Can't you give me a room for the night?"
We argue about currency, and then
Says, "I can stay for the night"In this Panama city motel
I came out on the freeway againIn this Panama city motel

I came out on the freeway againNo no, don't you know?
(Don't you know?)
Don't you know?
(Don't you know)
Don't you know?
I need a place to stayDon't you know?
(I need a place to stay)
Don't you know?
(I need a place to stay)
Don't you know?
(I need a place to stay)
I need a place to stay
(I need a place to stay)
