Nina Nastasia - Regrets lyrics

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 cigarrete

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
