Bryant Hotel - Lyrics by Left Banke


Lyrics

Bryant hotel,
Cardboard ceilings and mayhem:
Nobody cares.
Hours for sale,
Broadway harlequin harem...
Foot of the stairs

It's a sunny day,
But through your window all the world looks gray;
The cleaning lady didn't show today,
Or so they say, but then you never can tell.....

Bryant hotel,
Fossils lie in the lobby
Biding their time
Midsummer hell,
Sink-down sofa, seat shabby;
Fifty cent wine:

It's a sunny day,
But through your window all the world looks gray;
A month of dear belated bills to pay,
But that's ok - they never had it so well
At the bryant hotel.....

Bryant hotel
Elevator vacation:
Hourly ride.
Telephone call:
Find another location -
Credit denied!

It's a sunny day,
But through your window all the world looks gray;
The cleaning lady didn't show today,
Or so they say, but then you never can tell.....
