Hotel Parties - Futurebirds

I wound up drinking backstage alone

And wondering why

We booked a show in Toronto

On the 4th of July

In a three day coma from the border flush

They’re trying to make an example out of us

Gotta find a place to unload the last 3 weeks

Try to get tired enough for me to go to sleep

Hotel parties are exactly what we need

Hotel parties always get the best of me

Because the company I keep

They all live in my TV

Sometimes they lie with me while I sleep

Episodes and seasons

Without money, love, or reason

My heart’s leaving

Another freezing 5 hour post-show drive

And cars don’t pass like ships sailing in the night

Hotel parties making everything alright

Hotel parties always leave me feeling light

They’re having hotel parties even in my dreams

What went to sleep as a whisper just woke up as a scream

I think they’re pumping something poison through the hotel vents

But I’m not sure just who I’m trying to convince

Because the company I keep

They all live in my TV

Sometimes they lie with me while I sleep

Episodes and seasons

Without money, love, or reason

My heart’s leaving

All these different names for the exact same thing

I lost some friends in the van but at least I can sing

Just give me some gold that I can turn into silence

While the towns slow-fade into the haze behind them

Hotel parties

Hotel parties
