Lyrics The Alhambra Inn - Lionize

The Alhambra Inn

At the end they take your order
Sit down for a meal or two
Have something to wash down your lovely brown-fish stew
Don’t listen to the siren’s call
They come hither, one and all
And if you beckon slightly, they slither down the hole (nowhere)
Down the hole (nowhere, nowhere)
Journey into the Alhambra
Preposterous as can be
There’s rooms that for the taking, if you can find the key
Once when you enter, twice when you go
And if you’re going nowhere, let me know
Knock one when you will enter, knock twice before you go (nowhere)
When you go (nowhere, nowhere)
We bathe in heat and oil, but first we paid the toll
Picked apart by hungry vultures, who came to claim our souls
The flames that light the hallway, to the asylum go
Taken into the deepest depths now
You’ll never make it home (nowhere)
When you go (nowhere, nowhere)
Nowhere, nowhere (x8)
