Hotel

I took a taxi to the edge of town Where all the broken-hearted gather down A neon sign is buzzing in the rain A sanctuary for the lonely pain I ask the clerk to give me any key A place to hide away my misery I'm walking slowly down the corridor To face the ghosts inside of eighty-four Checking in to the heartbreak hotel A lonely heaven and a quiet hell Living with the memory of your face Stuck inside this solitary place Oh, heartbreak hotel, room eighty-four I left my happiness outside the door Drinking the tears from a crystal glass Watching the lonely shadows slowly pass The wallpaper is peeling off the wall I'm waiting for a voice to finally call But only silence echoes in the night Beneath the flicker of the yellow light I ask the clerk to give me any key A place to hide away my misery I'm walking slowly down the corridor To face the ghosts inside of eighty-four Checking in to the heartbreak hotel A lonely heaven and a quiet hell Living with the memory of your face Stuck inside this solitary place Oh, heartbreak hotel, room eighty-four I left my happiness outside the door Drinking the tears from a crystal glass Watching the lonely shadows slowly pass Room eighty-four Lonely shadows
