And god knows I've got space to rent But this place had been dissheveled therefore I suggest you look elsewhere to pitch tent So many people have entered these halls Just as many people vacated these walls In between visitors the wallpaper peels And dust collects as the rooms rest The bed's neatly made, yet it always feels Eager to accomodate another guest [Chorus:] Now you look like you're a reasonable young man So I hope you can find it in yourself to understand That the last tenant too, looked so civilized But that last tenant was cleverly disguised When he left, he left the room vandalized So as much as I wish I could open my door This hotel has no vacancies anymore We terribly regret any inconvenience Resulting from the closure of this estate But between the germs, mildew, stains, and the ghosts It'll probably take ages to exterminate It matters not how trusting you look Or how much money you've got in that pocketbook My rooms are closed to everyone So please don't take it personally But look elsewhere to make yourself at home As these doors are locked indefinately [Chorus repeats] Don't give me that pout, trust me it's not pleasant To feel such disgust for every potential resident Don't look back as you search somewhere else to stay Keep walking and leave this construction to rot away Just keep walking those feet away from this floor For the last time, I have no vacancies anymore |
Commentary
This would be another one of my favorite things i've written. The whole subject matter is one that remains a very strong part part of who i am today and "defines me" in a sense. It summed up so much of what i was feeling at the time i wrote it and still does that 10 years later. |
