Hotel Istanbul

[Verse 1]
Hotel Istanbul and I was folded at the table
Well, the cabaret was dull
And yes the yellow moon half-empty
So I slid between the bars
And I cast away my runes
On the cab ride via Mars
And I landed in this room

[Pre-Chorus]
Pissed, I twist the mystery radio dial
I found a voice that almost raised a smile
It was just like yours
And I fantasize translation
And it's just like you
To call when I'm exposed

[Chorus]
Damn your eyes
So blue
To have you near me
One red flare
If you're there
And you can hear me

[Verse 2]
Hotel Istanbul and I was notifying strangers
That my pugilistic flare could mean a consequential danger
But the maitre'd was deft and I was parting from my breath
His way of asking me to leave
It was a very sorry scene

[Pre-Chorus]
Pissed, I just insist that no one cares
That love has only thrown me down the stairs
Then I hear your voice
Full of love and understanding
And I know your voice
Will always call me home

[Chorus]
Damn your eyes
So blue
To have you near me
One red flare
If you're there
And you can hear me

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Damn your eyes
So blue
To have you near me
One red flare
If you're there
And you can hear me
