Central Hotel

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found myself lying on the balcony Stripling terror, naked to the bone; The secret asteroid jungle nearly done for me – I saw it all just a moment ago [Chorus] I know I'd better watch out For the Central Hotel... I'm not going back [Verse 2] Repetition, superstition, singularity Though every cell in the body has changed The walls move in well-accustomed hilarity – The circuit changes, but the joke stays the same [Chorus] I know I'd better watch out For the Central Hotel I think I'd better get out I'm not feeling so well And I won't be going back Not if I can help it [Post-Chorus] I can't help it, I can't help it If I still am what I was; I can't help it, I can't help it I can't stop the therefore because I can't help it The grace of God shows I'll be going on I'll be coming back [Saxophone Solo] [Verse] I know nothing of the miles of the marathon I hear nothing of the footfall behind I search for rhythm and I find that I haven't one (I search for rhythm and I find that I haven't one) Slow motion in the runner's mind [Chorus] I know I'd better watch out For the Central Hotel I think I'd better get out I'm not feeling so well I know I'd better check out But anyone here can tell I'll be coming back, I'll be back [Outro] I'm the Central Hotel I'm the Central Hotel I'm the Central Hotel
