Lyrics: Nina Nastasia. Regrets.

Paying at the Holloway
It's 35 dollars a night
Check in through a man named Kim
He's got a call and an angry wife

And I can hear
The Spanish screams
Of girlfriends in the other rooms
Who are not like me

And they say
Make no regrets
Don't slow down
This time

Upstairs in a plastic room
Half-stare and watching
Old cartoons
I turn down the bed

Waiting an hour or more
For footsteps
And an open door
I take off my watch

And I hope you come back safe this time
From your copping spree
In little Mexico
Underneath an L.A. traffic light

And they say
Make no regrets
Don't slow down
This time

I feel you staring' down at me
You lean to burn a cigarette
And I roll up my sleeve
And you say, you'll never leave

And I'll never get away as long as I keep still
And I hold my breath
And with the shame
I fall down into sleep

And they say
Make no regrets
Don't slow down
This time
