Hotel hobbies padding dawns hollow corridors

Bell boys checking out the hookers in the bar

Slug-like fingers trace the star-spangled clouds of cocaine on the mirror
D5 D5
The short straw takes its bow
A5 ------ D5
D5 A5
The tell tale sign of the last cigarette marking time in the pockets as the

whisky sweat lies like discarded armour on an unmade bed
And a familiar craving Dm is crawling through his Dhead
G5 ------ C5 ------ A5 ------ G5
G5
And the Donly sign of life is the ticking of the pen
C5
Introducing characters to memories like old friends
A5
Frantic as a cardiograph scratching out the lines
G5 D5
In a fever of confession a catalogue of crime in happy hour
G5 C5 A5 G5
Do you cry in happy hour, do you hide in happy hour, a pilgrimage to happy hour

E5 B5
New shadows tugging at the corner of his Deye
A5 C5
Jostling for attention as the sunlight flares
C5
Through a curtains tear, shuffling its beams
C5 B5
As if in nervous anticipation of another day
