Ruin Bound: Hotel by the Sea

Hotel by the Sea

Biting my nails
Wish I could sleep
Rock and roll in my head
Zombies float down the street

Caught up in the lights and all the tourist traps
Pulled into man o’ war stores, catching the souvenir clap
The out-of-towners on the stairway need a designated climber
And the party’s only started, so here’s the number to the room
And nobody heard the fire until it was a false alarm
The burglar under the bed waits for his chance to cut the lawn

And hanging off the balcony, I don’t want to die
I just wish I could fly
I just wish I could fly
Hanging off the balcony, I don’t want to die
I just wish I could fly
I just wish I could fly
Yeah!

Sex toys in the candy shop like bear traps in the bush
And a sandman by the alley sell their dreams with an airbrush
How many dolphins have you entangled in your fishnet stockings lately?
Ah, the night tide blows a kiss out to a shore leave full of gravy
A rendezvous at the Jacuzzi between insomniacs at twelve
Leaves the children chasing lizards across the stucco by themselves

And hanging off the balcony, I don’t want to die
I just wish I could fly
I just wish I could fly
Hanging off the balcony, I don’t want to die
I just wish I could fly
I just wish I could fly
From this hotel by the sea
Yeah, from this hotel by the sea


In the morning, cancer addicts pussyfoot across the street
To the litter with wine coolers – bikinis stuffed with recites
Clown makeup on their faces and butt fat stuffed in their lips
You want to talk about a kissass? Looks like she blew a jellyfish!
Now I’ve got to get out of here, back to Charlottesville and quick
I’ve got those old balcony blues and the air is feeling thick

And hanging off the balcony, I don’t want to die
I just wish I could fly
I just wish I could fly
Hanging off the balcony, I don’t want to die
I just wish I could fly
I just wish I could fly
From this hotel by the sea
Yeah, from this hotel by the sea
Hotel by the sea
Yeah, from this hotel by the sea
From this hotel by the sea
Yeah, from this hotel by the sea
Hotel by the sea
Yeah, from this hotel by the sea

Biting my nails
Wish I could sleep
Rock and roll in my head
Zombies float down the street
