Central Hotel Lyrics

I found myself lying on the balcony,
stripling terror, naked to the bone;
the secret asteroid jungle nearly done for me -
I saw it all just a moment ago.
I know I'd better watch out
for the Central Hotel...
I'm not going back.
Repetition, superstition, singularity,
though every cell in the body has changed
the walls move in well-accustomed hilarity -
the circuit changes but the joke stays the same.
I know I'd better watch out for the Central Hotel.
I think I'd better get out, I'm not feeling so well.
And I won't be going back,
not if I can help it.
I can't help it, I can't help it
if I still am what I was;
I can't help it, I can't help it,
can't stop the therefore because
I can't help it.
The grace of god shows I'll be going on,
I'll be coming back.
I know nothing of the miles of the marathon,
I hear nothing of the footfall behind,
I search for rhythm and I find that I haven't one...
slow motion in the runner's mind.
I know I'd better watch out for the Central Hotel
I think I'd better get out, I'm not feeling so well
I know I'd better check out, but anyone here can tell
I'll be coming back,
I'll be back.

I'm the Central Hotel.
