Diamond Motel Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm staying at the air condition diamond motel
Drinking too much, feeling pretty swell
Right off Highway 68, the road to Mexicali
Motorhomes cut through the imperial valley
There's a pink neon sign glowing like a jewel
Santa Ana wind blew the D into the pool
I laugh at everything 'cause reality is cruel
If you take it all so serious you'll feel just like a fool

[Chorus]
It sparkles like a diamond in the desert sun
No one ever finds you, you're safe from everyone
They say one man's heaven is another man's hell
What is real and what's a dream
Somewhere in between (Somewhere in between)
Somewhere in between (Somewhere in between)
Lies the diamond motel
[Verse 2]
It's a 122 degrees at 4.30 today
All a boy can do is hunker down in the shade
The nights out here are magic and the sky is full of stars
As clear as a tequila here it lies Flores' bar

[Chorus]
And it sparkles like a diamond in the desert sun
No one'll ever find you, you'll be safe from everyone They say one man's heaven is another man's hell
What is real and what's a dream
Somewhere in between (Somewhere in between)
Somewhere in between (Somewhere in between)
Lies the diamond motel

[Bridge]
And we're eating at Tereza's where the [?] go
We speak a little Spanish, just enough to know

[Chorus]
And it sparkles like a diamond in the desert sun
No one'll ever find you, you'll be safe from everyone
They say one man's heaven is another man's hell
But somedays I just can't tell
I'm somewhere in between (Somewhere in between)
Somewhere in between (Somewhere in between)
'Cause it sparkles like a diamond in the desert sun
No one'll ever find you, you'll be safe from everyone
They say one man's heaven is another man's hell
What is real and what's a dream
Somewhere in between (Somewhere in between)
Somewhere in between (Somewhere in between)
At the diamond motel
