Hotel On the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
You know the one, it stands tall, regal
looking to some grand, to others ominous, dark
Pick a room , any room , big, small, shadowy, light
it won't really matter it will all end in the same place;
I know what your thinking, right, same place,
it can't be the same place, bitter, sweet
The hotel will tell you they can, in no uncertain words,
or actions, yes I did say actions or words;
Whisper here, whisper there, moving, from there to here
touch on your arm, whisper so close you can feel it,
Taste it on your breath, bitter, caressing your nightmare,
causing you to shiver, though very sweet in gesture;
So come on in, the hotel awaits, to show you a sweet time or
bitter time, it welcomes people from all walks of life,
The time your shown will be the hotels choice
bitter, sweet, it awaits silently, serenely.
All of this I have spoken about of course you won't know,
you will be expecting a grand stay, carefree , full of fun
Oh, you won't be disappointed, in the beginning,
when it is daytime and there is laughter in the air....
