Lyrics
Paradise Hotel
There is a hotel in the city A place that time forgot
Stand'n like a tomb stone in graveyard parking lot
A flashing neon palm tree like a beacon in the night
The night draws the broken people with no hope left in sight.
No hope left in sight
chorus Fifteen floors to nowhere at the end of a dead end street
There's a cafe in the lobby where the hard luck diners eat
Fat Freddy at the front desk holds the keys to heaven and hell
Fifteen floors to nowhere at the Paradise Hotel
In and out the front door forgotten faces pass
Search'n for salvation but their dreams are fading fast
Up the crumbling staircase down the darkened hall
A black velvet jesus hangs in silence on the wall.
In silence on the wall.
Chorus Fifteen floors to nowhere at the end of dead end street
Theres a cafe in the lobby where the hard luck diners eat
Fat Freddy at the frontdesk holds the keys to heaven or hell
Fifteen floors to nowhere at the Paradise Hotel
Hey Fat Freddy how bout a room for the night that lasts forever
You know one next to the window so I can watch the neon lights
reflect thru the glass forever more
At the Paradise hotel you know the Paradise Hotel.
