Don't  you know  I need a place  to stay
Only  fifteen  bucks a day
 I didn't  want to end up here
 But now  I guess I need to stay
 (second verse, same as the first!)
 River red, runs like lead
 And the smell of kerosene in my head
 Stuck here in this shithole
 Reading foreign magazines instead
"But  senor, I only have ten dollars;
Can't  you spare me a room for the night?"
 We argue  about currency  and then
 He says I can stay  for the night
 In this Panama City Motel
I am out  on the freeway  again
 (third verse)
 A woman approaches in Barcelona
 Walking down the Diagonalia
 Spaghetti concrete overpasses
 I keep grasping for something familiar
 Repeat 2nd part of Chorus again
 then follow the "A B" rhythm while singing ad lib
 "Oh No... Don't you know I need a place to stay"
 the song finishes on a sustained A
 Comments? Gladly!!!
