HEART LIKE A HOTEL

ark room, dark stairs, dark alley
go there if you dare

in the corner suspicion hangs over the light
a cloud of smoke lets the mystery alight
2 people sit as if no one will see
demolition of the soul is the show tonight

in the middle a dance floor
a chess game to put yourself checkmate
desire of the devil to lose your soul
forget who you are
play the game to win

people looking for a little fun
buying laughter with gin/wine
devour life around them
strangle dreams to get something.

this ain’t no love that’s guiding
there’s nothing good that lasts forever
just grief, disbelief will show in morning light

lost your name just for lust in the night
to play the devils game
to open your heart like a hotel

dark room, dark stairs, dark alley
go there if you dare
