God's Hotel Lyrics - B-sides & Rarities - Nick Cave

Everybody got a room [Repeat: x3] 

In God's Hotel. 

Everybody got a room. 

Well you'll never see a sign hanging on the door 

Sayin 'No vacancies anymore'. 

Everybody got wings [Repeat: x3] 

In God's Hotel. 

Everybody got wings. 

You'll never see a sign hanging on the door 

Sayin 'At no time may both feet leave the floor' 

Everybody got a harp [Repeat: x3] 

In God's Hotel. 

Everybody got a harp. 

You'll never see a sign hanging on the wall 

Sayin 'No harps allowed in the hotel at all'. 

Everybody got a cloud [Repeat: x3] 

In God's Hotel. 

Everybody got a cloud. 

You'll never see a sign hanging on the wall 

Sayin 'Smoking and drinking will be thy downfall'. 

Everybody hold a hand [Repeat: x3] 

In God's Hotel. 

Everybody hold a hand. 

You'll never see a sign hung up above your door 

'No visitors allowed in rooms, By law!' 

Everybody's halo shines [Repeat: x3] 

In God's Hotel. 

Everybody's halo lookin' fine. 

You won't see a sign staring at you from the wall 

Sayin 'Lights out! No burning the midnight oil!' 

Everybody got credit [Repeat: x3] 

In God's Hotel. 

Everybody got good credit. 

You'll never see a sign stuck on the cash-box drawer 

Sayin 'Credit tomorrow!' or 'Want credit? Haw, haw haw!' 

Everybody is blind [Repeat: x3] 

In God's Hotel. 

Everybody is blind. 

You'll never see a sign on the front door 

'No red skins. No Blacks. And that means you, baw!' 

Everybody is deaf [Repeat: x3] 

In God's Hotel. 

Everybody is deaf. 

You'll never find a sign peeling off the bar-room wall 

'Though shalt not blaspheme, cuss, holler or bawl'. 

Everybody is dumb [Repeat: x3] 

In God's Hotel. 

Everybody is dumb. 

So you'll never see on the visiting-room wall 

'Though shalt not blaspheme, cuss, holler or bawl'. 

Everybody got Heaven [Repeat: x3] 

In God's Hotel. 

Everybody got Heaven. 

So you'll never see scribbled on the bathroom wall 

'Let Rosy get ya Heaven, dial 686-8441'
