Halfway Hotel

Hey mama, it's a long long way To your borderland home where the butterflies play all day. Yeah it's a long long way And I'm awful hungry you know I could almost eat my words I said I'd give up my vacation To take you right across the nation And your Mother thinks I'm crazy too I'll tell you what I think we should do. Why don't we pull in at the half way hotel I long for service at the ring of a bell And we could sleep in late Hey your Mummy and your Daddy can wait. And if we pull in at the halfway hotel Why they're so discreet and I know only too well You won't get home again No it aint home but you'll be welcome to stay. You'll be amazed to see the people who you thought so swell Sipping back the moselle And life is so hard on a credit card It almost over, at the halfway hotel. Hey mama, can you feel the heat My radiator's all dry And we're the only fools left in the street But sure I think you're sweet. But I aint no hero you know You been mixing me up with those men in that slush You fill your mind with all that comic book stuff And it's your imagination, playing little tricks on you But at least i think I know what to do. Why don't we pull in at the half way hotel I long for service at the ring of a bell And we could sleep in late Hey your Mummy and your Daddy can wait. And if we pull in at the halfway hotel Why they're so discreet and I know only too well You won't get home again No it aint home but you'll be welcome to stay. You'll be amazed to see the people who you thought so swell Sipping back the moselle And life is so hard on a credit card It almost over, at the halfway hotel.
