The neon sign flashes,
Leaves its mark against the wall
The TV is silent
And will stay that way until dawn
The sheets are so cold,
The telephone is dumb
And I'm so very far from my home
In the dark I hear a siren
It screams across the night
Someone else is in trouble
I am not the only one
The cigarette glows,
I'm all alone
And I'm so very far from my home
I would leave here tomorrow
But I know I've got to stay
If only you were here with me
I'm holding on to every memory, memory
Memory, memory, memory, memory…
It is four o'clock in the morning,
The sun begins to rise
Another day I have to face,
Baby, I'm so dissatisfied
Breakfast is served
The morning news is heard
And I'm so very far from my home
Yes, I'm so very far from my home
Yes, I'm so very far from my home
So very…
Well, I'm so very far, far away from home
So very…
Almost everyone has checked into hotel hell at one time or another. Its just the human condition that prompts us to pay the room rate. It could be something we've done from ignorance in youth or it could be that now the piper is to be paid from a lifetime of neglect. We feel so alone and yet knowing there are others in the rooms just down the hall is of no comfort. We struggle with the fight, the pain, the misery from which we suffer, or worse, which we have created. If only we had known...only if we could turn back time to where we could have made a better choice. Indeed, hindsight does provide revelations to us that makes us cry out, wishing if we had only known. We wonder why we couldn't see the obvious, to know...but only time has that talent to show us that answer. The voice of Eric Burdon along with the music of the Animals give "Hotel Hell" it's unique qualities to take you to that place we could have avoided.....if we only knew better.
