Old Hotel - Lyrics by Vic Chesnutt


Lyrics
I can see my old hoteldown amongst the smells
I'm up above that ancient city riverit's filtered by my lousy liverit's filtered by my wilted lily liver
I can see my old hotelit ain't even a hotel5am there came some sleet or hailit was signal taps on the brave windowsolemn taps on the wavy window
I can see my old holtelhear those old touristy bellssoon I'll be down the hill shoppinggiddy like a tipsy Mary Poppinsgiddy like a tipsy Mary Poppins
I can see my old hotelit ain't even a hotel
I'm scheduled to ride the railsif I wished to stay on this towerthings would derange given just another hour ...
