Moonlight Motel [Italian translation]

There's a place on a blank stretch of road where

Nobody travels and nobody goes and

the Deskman says these days 'round here

Two young folks could probably up and disappear

into Rustlin' sheets, a sleepy corner room

Into the musty smell

Of wilted flowers and

Lazy afternoon hours

At the Moonlight Motel

Now the pool's filled with empty,

eight-foot deep

Got dandelions growin' up

through the cracks in the concrete

Chain-link fence half-rusted away

Got a sign says

"Children be careful how you play"

Your lipstick taste

and your whispered secret

I promised I'd never tell

A half-drunk beer and your breath

in my ear at the Moonlight Motel

Well then it's bills

and kids and kids and bills a

nd the ringing of the bell

Across the valley floor

through the dusty screen door

Of the Moonlight Motel

Last night I dreamed of you, my lover

And the wind blew through the window

and blew off the covers of my lonely bed,

I woke to something you said

That it's better to have loved,

yeah it's better to have loved

As I drove, there was a chill in the breeze

And leaves tumbled from the sky and fell

Onto a road so black as I backtracked

To the Moonlight Motel

She was boarded up and gone

like an old summer song

Nothing but an empty shell

I pulled in and stopped into my old spot

I pulled a bottle of Jack out of a paper bag

Poured one for me

and one for you as well

Then it was one more shot poured out

onto the parking lot

To the Moonlight Motel
