verse 1
we walked these city streets late at night
like in the best songs i know
if the cardboard hadn't worn out i'd still
be there watching them sleep on these city streets
chorus
i'll sing you a song
for the star hotel
i'll sing you a song
for all the jams
at 4 am we could hardly stand
so happy i made some friends
i'll sing you a song for the star hotel
a secret of ours we'll never tell
wasted nights the precious
delusions and the special
feeling we all got
verse 2
the times we spent
in that old hotel
the graffiti covered walls
and endless halls
they're so scared of us
and we're so scared of them
the underground seems so mainstream
when you got no food to eat
i never knew if i'd wake alive
verse 3
for days in front of the tv
out on the battlefront
a controller in one hand
and a bong in the other
every second Wednesday
on our acid dealers door
please sir could i have some more
chorus ext
now they have torn
it down fuck this town
i'm running away
what i'd give to walk the halls
see the painted walls and
sleep one more night
on that lonely single mattress
verse 4
we walked the city streets
after the peasants
had gone to sleep
you will never know
the fun we had
snorting shrooms
in empty rooms
like a smoke filled tomb
i cant wait to die again one day
