about

a true story from a creepy night in reading, pennsylvania. the penn-view motel closed down not-too-long after. as disconcerting as that night was, it will still be missed.

lyrics

Too long spent on this darn highway
We need a place to stay
To crash out for a bit

Vacancy sign at a run-down motel
Upon that hill, oh well
It could be worse, couldn’t it?

A roach as big as we have ever seen before
Scurries from the floor
Up the wood paneling

Unknown stains and cigarette burns
On the comforter
(Not very comforting)

From a shattered motel window
We are anxiously nonplussed

What’s that figure by the swimming pool?
Why ain't the water blue?
What else can we expect?

Bathroom smells of mold, piss, and stale beer
What are we doing here?
Why haven’t we left yet?

From a shattered motel window
We are anxiously nonplussed
And the strange noises below
Are they coming after us?

Never thought I'd say it, but I must concede
We don't have enough weed
To help us see this through

I'll admit I'm not a praying man
But tonight I am
Maybe you should be, too
