The Hotel Mary Chang - Electric Six

As one of 8 billion people with an axe to grind

It’s all I can do to let myself unwind

Postcards to the torture town I left so far behind

Please don’t ever leave me alone with my mind

Somewhere monks are chanting to cure disease

And when it all comes together it’s a spiritual tease

Of the highest degree

What am I walking into?

A pit of money or a pit of despair?

What room am I checking into?

At the Hotel Mary Chang I’ll see you there, I’ll see you there

Ready or not, here I come

One foot in front of the other

Chewing acid gum

I don’t know what’s happening

Could this be foreshadowing?

The lights, they drive me crazy

Changes happen suddenly

Settling in now for your third degree

I’m in the market for some more money

I’m the lone sane man in the asylum

I deal in souls, got loads of space to file them

I chant nonsense, holding serpents and vipers

While driving through a shit storm with faulty wipers

This heat is real (We're either gonna die or lose a lot of weight)

This heat we feel (We're either gonna die or lose a lot of weight)

This heat is real (We're either gonna die or lose a lot of weight)

This heat we feel (We're either gonna die or lose a lot of weight)

This heat is real

This heat we feel

This heat we feel

This heat we feel

Why am I checking in here?

'Cause I accumulated points and got a deal

So why do I have to stay here?

At the Hotel Mary Chang nothing is real, nothing is real

Why do I waste away here?

Because my hardened soul stopped working long ago

So why do I face the fear?

At the Hotel Mary Chang it’s all I know, it’s all I know
