Her come-on was direct and strong, from a question to a kiss
She said she’d had a little much to drink, she didn’t usually do this
But she was looking for another head to scalp tonight
And she had me right between her sights
I turned to face her as the jukebox clicked off, playing her favorite song
And she looked pretty in the low-lit bar but something was wrong
I saw a dull red neon sign flashing in her eyes
It said ‘vacancy’, she had motel eyes
Chorus:
They were black as the night and shone like a star
Fueled by the light from her medicine jar
I looked again, but there was nothing there but ice in her eyes
There’s no disguisin’ motel eyes
She had the angles all down pat, her average must be high
And though it could have been a pleasure, I just had to say goodbye
Though there was something wicked ’bout the way she flexed her thighs
She scared me with her motel eyes
Chorus
(Solo)
She started sayin’ something ’bout movement versus size
The sign kept on flashing in her motel eyes
Chorus (with: ‘There’s no disguise for motel eyes’)
Black as the night, black as the night — motel eyes
