Regrets Lyrics - Singles - Nina Nastasia

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
