I'm staying at the air condition diamond motel Drinking too much, feeling pretty swell
Right off Highway 68, the road to Mexicali Motorhomes cut through the imperial valley
There's a pink neon sign glowing like a jewel Santa Ana wind blew the D into the pool
I laugh at everything 'cause reality is cruel If you take it all so serious you'll feel just like a fool
* It sparkles like a diamond in the desert sun
No one ever finds you, you're safe from everyone
They say one man's heaven is another man's hell What is real and what's a dream
Somewhere in between (Somewhere in between)
Somewhere in between (Somewhere in between) Lies the diamond motel
It's a 122 degrees at 4.30 today All a boy can do is hunker down in the shade
The nights out here are magic and the sky is full of stars
As clear as a tequila here it lies Flores' bar
And we're eating at Tereza's where the campesinos go
We speak a little Spanish just enough to know
