Hotel Colorado On a dark urban car lot, cool wind in my hair Cold stench of Greely, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to work for the night There she stood at the turn style I heard the bars swing ‘round And I was thinking to myself 'This is where Hell could be found Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There were voices down the hall in building 004 I thought I heard them say Welcome to the Hotel Colorado Such a lovely place (such a lovely place) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel Colorado Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Subarus She got a lot of really old dudes, that she calls gurus How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat Some dance to remember, some dance to forget So I called up the manager 'Please bring me my raise He said, "we haven't had that program here since millions of days” And still those voices are calling from far away Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say Welcome to the Hotel Colorado Such a lovely place (such a lovely place) Such a lovely face They livin' it up at the Hotel Colorado What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your own set of lies Light bulbs on the ceiling City water on ice And she said, 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device And in the Boss-man’s chambers They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives But they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before 'Relax' said the night man 'We are programmed to receive You can check out any time you like But you can never leave!
