Build God Then Well talk
Panic! at the Disco Lyrics

It's these substandard motels
The motels are cheap and unpleasant.

On the corner of 4th and Freemont Street
The motels are located in a specific area.

Appealing, only because they're just that unappealing
People may find the motels appealing because of their unappealing nature.

Any practiced Catholic would cross themselves upon entering
The motels are so unclean that even a religious person would feel the need to pray before entering.

The rooms have a hint of asbestos
The rooms are contaminated with asbestos.

And maybe just a dash of formaldehyde
There are traces of formaldehyde in the rooms.

And the habit of decomposing right before your very eyes
The rooms and the people inside are in bad condition and deteriorating rapidly.

Tonight tenants range from a lawyer and a virgin
The lodgers include a lawyer and a virgin.

Accessorizing with a rosary tucked inside her lingerie
The virgin is wearing a rosary as part of her clothing.

She's getting a job at the firm come Monday
The virgin will start work at a law firm on Monday.

The Mrs. will stay with the cheating attorney
The lawyer's wife will stay with him, even though he is unfaithful.

Moonlighting aside, she really needs his money
The lawyer's wife relies on his money, despite his infidelity.

And not to mention, the constable
In addition, there is a police officer staying in the motel.

And his proposition, for that virgin
The police officer is propositioning the virgin.

Yes, the one the lawyer met with on strictly business
The police officer is referring to the meeting between the lawyer and the virgin for her job.

As he said to the Mrs.
The police officer is referring to something he said to the lawyer's wife.

Well, only hours before, after he had left
This occurred only a few hours after the police officer had left the room.

She was fixing her face in a compact
The lawyer's wife was using a mirror to fix her face.

There was a terrible crash
There was a loud noise of something breaking.

Between her and the badge
The noise was caused by a confrontation between the lawyer's wife and the police officer.

She spilled her purse and her bag
In the confrontation, the lawyer's wife dropped her purse and bag.

And held a "purse" of a different kind
The lawyer's wife was carrying something inappropriate, indicated by the quotation marks around the word purse.

There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
This is not a romantic and pleasant setting.

It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
The conditions are unpleasant, with roaches and other unpleasant things present.

At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
The sheets are stained and unpleasant.

And a few more of your least favorite things
There are other unpleasant things present in the motel rooms.

Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy
Despite the unpleasant conditions, people are still intimate in the motel rooms.

Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
This line is repeated to emphasize the unpleasant nature of the setting.

It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
This line is repeated to emphasize the unpleasant conditions.

At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
This line is repeated to emphasize the stained and unpleasant sheets.

And a few more of your least favorite things
This line is repeated to emphasize the presence of other unpleasant things in the motel rooms.

Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy
This line is repeated to emphasize the intimacy that still occurs despite the unpleasant conditions.
