Central Hotel |
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 |
I know I’d better watch out |
For the Central Hotel… |
I’m not going back |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
Slow motion in the runner’s mind |
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 |
I’m the Central Hotel |
I’m the Central Hotel |
I’m the Central Hotel |
