[Spoken Intro]
Aight, this is another song from Sitting Targets and it's called "Central Hotel"
[Instrumetal Intro]
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I know I'd better watch out
For the Central Hotel...
Oh, but I'm not going back
[Verse 2]
Repetition, superstition, singularity
Though every cell in the body has changed
The walls move in well-accustomed hilarity –
Well, the circuit changes, but the joke stays thе same
[Chorus]
I know I'd better watch out
For thе Central Hotel
I think I'd better get out
Yeah, I'm not feeling so well
And I'm not going back
[Break]
[Bridge]
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
I 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
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
I know I gotta watch out
For the Central Hotel
Maybe I'd better get out
I'm not feeling so well
I think I'd better check out
Yet anyone here can tell
I'll be coming back, I'll be back
[Outro]
I'm the Central Hotel
I'm the Central Hotel
I'm the Central Hotel
I'm the Central Hotel
I'm the Central Hotel
I'm the Central Hotel
I'm the Central Hotel
[Spoken Outro]
