=====Revised Version 3=====

The neon lights of the motel fade Madonna’s billboard sign
The manager’s spitting sunflower shells here in Paradise
Here in Paradise

A Smith & Wesson’s on third shelf; she’d reach it if she tried
He’s passed out in the stairwell; she rubs ice on her black eye

And me, I’m the skirt who cleans the sheets
And I am here illegally
Here in Paradise

A shot rings out from the stairwell; call it courage or revenge
Either way she pleads it; he’s not touching her again
I hide myself in the shadows, but the curtain’s much too thin
I don’t want to be a witness when the questioning begins

‘Cause I’m just the hand that folds the sheets
Here in Paradise

The flashing lights and sirens; pull in at 3 AM
We find each other hiding in an alley garbage bin
Both of us are smiling; like we somehow became friends
But I never see her again
Goodbye, farewell
Goodbye, farewell
Goodbye, farewell
Paradise Motel

=====Original Version=====
The neon sign of the motel is buzzing through the night
The manager offers no help; for this is Paradise
This is Paradise
This is Paradise

There’s a gun on top shelf; she’d reach it if she tried
He’s passed out in the stairwell; she rubs ice on her black eye

And me, I’m the one who cleans the sheets
I’m here, but here illegally
Here in Paradise
Here in Paradise
Here in Paradise

The flashing lights and sirens; pull in at 3 AM
We find each other hiding in an alley garbage bin
Both of us are smiling; like we somehow became friends
But I never see her again
Goodbye, farewell
Goodbye, farewell
Goodbye, farewell
