Take a smell around now
It smells so stuffy
Open the windows
Then it won't be stinky
Don't smell motel rooms like that for too long
While you take pictures
Just because you don't smell fresheners
Doesn't mean it isn't good still
Get some air

It's the stuffy smell in those rooms
Smells like no one ever stays here
It's the stuffy smell in those rooms
But it's still nice, that is so clear
It's the stuffy smell in those rooms

So what's this about your garage?
It's got a brand new awful reek
So you're moving all your cars outside
'Cause it smells like polluted creeks
Open the door it helps clear those four walls
Just get some ventilation
It's the same old room you've known for years
Won't take much imagination
Open the door

It's the stuffy smell in those rooms
But it could be from your old car
It's the stuffy smell in those rooms
All the oil and gas and the tar
It's the stuffy smell in those rooms

What if the room in your motel is really good
And ruined by the smell
And what if garage smells you can stand no longer
Will one day make you yell

Don't look at the rooms in the same old way
Find another window
Open the door and get some fresh air
And buy a freshener
You'll like the smell

It's the stuffy smell in those rooms
Smells like no one ever stays here
It's the stuffy smell in those rooms
But it's still nice, that is so clear
It's the stuffy smell in those rooms
But it could be from your old car
It's the stuffy smell in those rooms
All the oil and gas and the tar
