Ok, here we go:

It's these substandard motels on the (lalalalala) corner of 4th and Fremont Street. Appealing only because they are just that un-appealing Any practiced catholic would cross themselves upon entering. The rooms have a hint of asbestos and maybe just a dash of formaldehyde, And the habit of decomposing right before your very (lalalala) eyes.

This line refers to a sleazy motel where prostitutes meet with the men they're going to have sex with.

Along with the people inside What a wonderful charicature of intimacy Inside, what a wonderful charicature of intimacy

Pretty obvious. Intimacy, in this case, means an affair, so it's an egzagerated(Spelled it wrong, sorry) affair.

Tonight tenants range from: a lawyer and a virgin Accessorizing with a rosary tucked inside her lingerie She's getting a job at the firm come Monday. The Mrs. will stay with the cheating attorney moonlighting aside, she really needs his money. Oh, wonderful charicature of intimacy.

The lawyer is meeting with the virgin to have sex. The Mrs. is "working" (Having sex) for the attorney, and she doesn't like it, but she needs the money, so she stays.

And not to mention, the constable, and his proposition, for that "virgin" Yes, the one the lawyer met with on "strictly business" as he said to the Mrs. Well, only hours before, after he had left, she was fixing her face in a compact. There was a terrible crash (There was a terrible crash) Between her and the badge She spilled her purse and her bag, and held a "purse" of a different kind.

Ok, try to follow me here, this is where it gets tricky. A constable is a cop, for all of you who don't know. I'm sure you can guess what his "Proposition" is. They put quotes around virgin because she's not actually a virgin. "Strictly Business" refers to what the lawyer might have said to anyone who ask what they did together. They may have known this girl what a prostitute, and he doesn't want to look bad, so he's telling people they met on "Strictly Business". A "Terrible crash" is when the police break in and arrest the virgin. "Between her and the badge she spilled her purse ans her bag" means she took her clothes off, because in this case, a "Purse" is a vagina. Then she and the constable had sex, because the constable was saying "Have sex with me, or I'm going to arrest you.

There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses. It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains And a few more of your least favorite things.

A play on the song "My Favorite Things" from the movie "The Sound of Music". It mean all of the stuff they refer to in this song is just a fantasy, and doesn't really exist.

Love this song. Panic at the Disco kicks ass.
