Paper Thin Motel Lyrics by Leonard Cohen

Paper Thin Motel Lyrics

    The walls of this hotel are paper-thin
    Last night i heard you making love to him
    The struggle mouth to mouth and limb to limb
    The grunt of unity when he came in

    I stood there with my ear against the wall
    I was not seized by jealousy at all
    In fact a burden lifted from my soul
    I heard that love was out of my control
    A heavy burden lifted from my soul
    I heard that love was out of my control

    I listened to your kisses at the door
    I never heard the world so clear before
    You ran your bath and you began to sing
    I felt so good i couldn't feel a thing

    I stood there with my ear against the wall ...

    And i can't wait to tell you to your face
    And i can't wait for you to take my place
    You are the naked angel in my heart
    You are the woman with her legs apart
    It's written on the walls of this hotel
    You go to heaven once you've been to hell

    A heavy burden lifted from my soul
    I heard that love was out of my control
