The second single from Flamingo Blonde is about a hotel I hate but have never been to.
lyrics
Used to be just three, now it’s five A.M. and I’m crawling into bed again,
Wishing I could sleep, instead of letting ones I resent lay down,
Oh, the stars are streaming into the room, they’re leaking from the street light,
Oh please wake me up in late afternoon, I’ve packed myself an early flight,
Check me out of this hotel.
Can I give you my room code, I think the maids are avoiding my calls,
Prende il mio prosecco, probably left abandoned bedside,
Oh, the stars are streaming into the room, they’re leaking from the street light,
Oh please wake me up in late afternoon, I put my bags by the door,
Check me out of this hotel.
I’m leaving Hotel Gloria, headed west for the billionth time,
The crown stands proud to my right, a mustard stain on the skyline,
Oh, the stars are streaming into the room, I put them back into the street light,
Oh please wake me up in late afternoon, I’m headed home tonight,
Check me out of this hotel.
Check me out of this hotel.
