Old Hotel Lyrics - Singles - Chesnutt Vic

(Vic Chesnutt) 

I can see my old hotel 

down amongst the smells 

I'm up above that ancient city river 

it's filtered by my lousy liver 

it's filtered by my wilted lily liver 

I can see my old hotel 

it ain't even a hotel 

5am there came some sleet or hail 

it was signal taps on the brave window 

solemn taps on the wavy window 

I can see my old holtel 

hear those old touristy bells 

soon I'll be down the hill shopping 

giddy like a tipsy Mary Poppins 

giddy like a tipsy Mary Poppins 

I can see my old hotel 

it ain't even a hotel 

I'm scheduled to ride the rails 

if I wished to stay on this tower 

things would derange given just another hour ...
