LOVE HOTEL

Anyway you cut it, any place that you choose
no matter where you are, I don’t care
I don’t care, about the fire, or about falling stars
just give me enough reason to carry on

for every fighter, there is a starter
a starter of all the things in life you just can’t end
for every tear on a wet pillow, there is a breaker
breakin’ hearts and doorways ain’t the best practice around

I was trying to say too much with so little words
but that’s what singing is all about, so I’m singin’
I think I’ve lost my way
but please don’t let me go astray
guide me down the dusty road
won’t you come on down to love hotel
you and I got memories to make at love hotel

people are so busy talkin’ about
what had been occupying their days, and what words to say
so throw that television out of the window
or throw yourself out of a moving train

every day, every night, every time we say bye
don’t you know that old hotel is around the corner
so preachers and teachers, don’t save your prayers
let your words sound throughout everywhere, east and west

I was trying to say too much with so little words
but again that’s what music is all about
I think I’ve lost my way
but please don’t let me go astray
tell me you’ll be in my arms
when walls come falling down at love hotel
you and I got memories to make at love hotel

Jesus, so busy talking about
what goodness deed he has done today, and what souls he saved
so girlfriends and boyfriends, keep holding on
but don’t stop believing that one day change will come

Jesus wasn’t allowed in this country
these things had been bothering you will elude you somehow
cuz it’s a sunny day, and I’ve got no dues to pay
but I’m sorry it’s got nothing to do with the way that I feel

I was trying to say too much with so little words
but again that’s what Jesus is all about
I think I’ve lost my way
but please don’t let me go astray
tell me it’s the only way
when you come on down to love hotel
you and I, let’s make some memories at this hotel

I’m waiting for the prophet
guide and take me by the hand when I’m alone
don’t say goodbye when all is through
until the day that two turns one, we got to live strong.
