From John Grant’s Bandcamp:
In (The Cruise Room), he revisits the untouched, faded grandeur of the Art Deco bar at Denver’s Oxford Hotel (“just fucking gorgeous”) for one last night as a young man before trying his luck in Germany, to see if Europe is a better fit. Patsy Cline plays on the jukebox....
[Chorus]
I see you in the pink art deco glow
On the Cruise Room
I see you not knowing all the things we didn't know
At the Cruise Room
Way back then
[Verse 1]
Patsy Cline on the juke box
And I don’t wanna hear nothing else
We leave the world outside
And the fear begins to melt
[Chorus]
I see you in the pink art deco glow
On the Cruise Room
I see you not knowing all the things we didn't know
At the Cruise Room
Way back then
[Verse 2]
They can't touch me, as long as you are by my side
This is the place we come when we know we have to say goodbye
[Verse 3]
I remember later on that night sitting by myself back at home
We listened to that song over the phone
And I knew I'd never be alone
And the wind outside
It howled and moaned
[Chorus]
I see you in the pink art deco glow
On the Cruise Room
I see you not knowing all the things we didn't know
At the Cruise Room
At the Cruise Room
At the Cruise Room
