Old Rose Motel Lyrics

I see you bleed the feelings you close up
I know the pain that you hide
Oh baby please don't be no close out
Stay with me through the night

Needle Street ain't no answer
Can't dream a heartache away
Let the need be your master
All of your dreams fade away

Everything you want
Everything you want

Anything you want
Anything you want
You can find it right here

Ah no don't go
Down to the midnight motel
Oh no so low
Can't find no heaven in hell

There's a silence that comes in the morning
Leaves you screamin' at the wall
As you sit there in your easy chair
Chasin' demons at a crawl

When you feel that you'll never find
Somewhere y'll be safe to lie
Just take a look over here
Together we'll rise in a mornin' glory

Anything you want
Anything you want

Everything you want
Everything you want
You can find it right here

Don't go don't go
Down to the Old Rose Motel

Oh no don't go
Down to the midnight hotel

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this might be about someone craving for drugs (Needle Street ain't no answer, Let the need be your master) but is told by his/her partner not to give in to the temptation.

Can't find no heaven in hell

Chasin' demons at a crawl

All are possible lines about the white powder and its effects.

@flapjack7193 ...

I can't believe that no one has replied to this, because this is the song Jack wrote in regard to the reason he was incarcerated for shooting the live-in maid when he first got the gig with GW after dante Fox... Believe it or not, part of the answering machine message on the psycho city track was the person that actually did the crime, and Jack did the time... Some people in LA said at the time that Alan Niven was involved...
