On an ordinary day
Stop off for a while,
Slow down, take it easy
Don’t go one more mile.
Up ahead in the distance
There is a shimmering light.
Your head grows heavy,
your sight starts to dim.
We have to stop for the night.
Verse 2
She stands there in the doorway
I hear a mission bell
And I am thinkin’ to myself
“This could be Heaven or this could be Hell”
Then she lights up a candle
And she shows me the way
There were voices down the passage
I thought I heard them say . . .
Chorus
“Welcome to the Motel Stroke International
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Motel Stroke International
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find us here”
Verse 3
Her mind has a Tiffany twist
She drives that Mercedes Benz,
and she’s got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls her best friends.
Now they dance in the courtyard
A sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget.
Chorus
“Welcome to the Motel Stroke International
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They’re livin’ it up at the Motel Stroke International
What a nice surprise (What a nice surprise)
Bring your friends along.”
Verse 6
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
“Relax,” said the night man
“We are programmed to receive
You can check in any time you like
But you can never leave”
