lyrics

And he will wake up in the morning and the sun won’t shine
And for a couple of minutes he’ll believe he’s died
The red light on the smoke alarm will show him he’s okay
He’s in another mid-range hotel in the USA

He’ll roll out of the king-size open up the blinds
He’ll be so high above a parking lot he’ll feel he’s flying
He’ll try to crack the window it won’t work that way
He’s in another mid-range hotel in the USA

He’s in a box next to a box with boxes above and below
The boxes stacked and stacked in buildings and the buildings seem to go
To the horizon and beyond
It’s enterprising but come on
Mr. Suitcase in a pile of people feeling all alone

He throws his suitcase on the king-size and the zipper breaks
He takes a piss he takes a shower he masturbates
He feels a little existential but he holding that at bay
He’s in another mid-range hotel in the USA

The hotel bar
The hotel bar
It doesn’t matter what they charge
Another bourbon on the rocks

Drink away your cares
With a demi-vierge
The concierge says there’s a steak place more than just a couple blocks
And it’s goddamn worth the Uber just to stay out of the

Box next to a box with boxes above and below
The boxes stacked and stacked in buildings and the buildings seem to go
To the horizon and beyond
It’s enterprising but come on
Mr. Suitcase in a pile of people feeling all alone
