Paper Thin Hotel Lyrics - Fatima Mansions

(Music--Leonard Cohen/Phil Spector; Lyrics--Leonard Cohen) Sony Music Publishing/Back to Mono Music 

The walls of this hotel are paper thin 

Last night I heard you making love to him 

The struggles mouth to mouth and limb to limb 

The grunt of unity as he came in 

CHORUS: 

I stood there with my ear against the wall 

I was not seized by jealusy at all 

In fact, a burden lifted from my soul 

I heard that love was out of my control 

A heavy burden lifted from my soul 

I heard that love was out of my control 

I listened to your kisses at the door 

I never heard a world so clear before 

You ran your bath and you began to sing 

I felt so good I couldn't feel a thing--CHORUS 

And I can't wait to tell you to your face 

And I can't wait for you to take my place 

You are the naked angel in my heart 

You are the woman with her legs apart 

It's written on the walls of this hotel 

You go to heaven once you've been to hell 

A heavy burden lifted from my soul 

when I learned that love was out of my control 

I want to seranade you with a song my mother taught me: 

"SANTA LUCIA!! SANTA LUCIA!!"
