lyrics

Here I am reception
Here I am presentation
Here I am a flexible chameleon
Reserving a room
For a glamorous police description

(I'm still paying to be)

Leaving such
An avant-hotel
Is to remind myself
That I'll never find another lover quite like you
Just a plastic alligator and a 'nice' matchbook.

The firm went business trippin'
Called up for room service
They're feeling luxury,
They're feeling MTV
She's only 23,
And so much at ease,

(in the melancholy)

Bubble-bath
An avant-hotel
Is to remind myself
That I'll never find another lover quite like you
Just a plastic alligator and a 'nice' matchbook.

So I quit it to go travelling
Half way 'round the world
But they stopped me at the airport,
She said it seemed absurd
She said: "True love'll get you laid, if that's what you came here for,
but you've got to be paid, to stay in this hotel boy
I'll give you three months and no more."
Crayola bitter sweet
Was the soundtrack
Baiting the multiplayer
Hercules fantastic.
Sat at the buffet
With a complimentary breakfast,
Iced tea and cocoa,
The cookie warm in your hand

(waiting to be)

Working at such
An avant-hotel
Is to remind myself
That I'll never find another lover quite like you

It makes no difference if you've got a lover
It makes no difference if you've got a friend
When you leave the party alone
Your gonna feel that same way again
I'm a conquering souvenir
