The motel is about a blank part of Bowie’s life, when he reminisced about the rapid and thrilling times and compared them to his more recent life (90’s).
[Verse 1]
For we're living
In a safety zone
Don't be holding back from me
We're living from hour to hour down here
And we'll take it when we can
[Verse 2]
It's a kind of living which recognises
The death of the odourless man
When nothing is vanity nothing's too slow
It's not Eden but it's no sham
[Chorus]
There is no hell
There is no shame
There is no hell
Like an old hell
There is no hell
And it's lights up, boys
Lights up boys
[Verse 3]
Explosion falls upon deaf ears
While we're swimming in a sea of sham
Living in the shadow of vanity
A complex fashion for a simple man
[Chorus]
And there is no hell
And there is no shame
And there is no hell
Like an old hell
There is no hell
[Verse 4]
And the silence flies
On its brief flight
A razor sharp crap shoot affair
And we light up our lives
[Chorus Variation]
And there's no more of me exploding you
Re-exposing you
Like everybody do
Re-exploding you
I don't know what to use
Make somebody move
Me exploding
Me exploding you
