[Verse 1] Midnight shift again Coffee tastes like dirt Another weary face Another crumpled shirt He slid across the counter A wad of sweaty green Room fourteen he grumbled The strangest I have seen [Prechorus] My eyes they felt so heavy Just wanted to go home [Chorus] Motel night manager Just a lonely soul Motel night manager Losing all control Motel night manager Watching shadows fall Motel night manager Hear the siren call [Verse 2] Flipped the TV on Just some background noise Then a face popped up Stole all my joys Same shifty eyes Same crooked grin The man from room fourteen A wanted man within [Prechorus] My heart it started pounding Like a drum solo wild [Chorus] Motel night manager Just a lonely soul Motel night manager Losing all control Motel night manager Watching shadows fall Motel night manager Hear the siren call [Verse 3] The phone rang, jolted me A voice raspy and low "He's back," it whispered "Don't let him go." My hand shook on the receiver A cold sweat on my brow Room fourteen's key still waiting What do I do now? [Prechorus] The hall felt long and hollow And I could hear him near [Chorus] Motel night manager Just a lonely soul Motel night manager Losing all control Motel night manager Watching shadows fall Motel night manager Hear the siren call [Chorus] Motel night manager Let the whole place know Motel night manager I was too slow Motel night manager Door 14 swung wide Motel night manager No place left to hide
