Hotel Parties

I wound up drinking backstage alone
And wondering why
Booked a show in Toronto
On the fourth of July
In a three-day coma
From the border flush
Trying to make an example out of us
Down to find a place to load the last three 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
These episodes and seasons
Without money, love, or reason
My heart's relieved
Another freezing five-hour post-show drive
The 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
I went to sleep as a whisper
Just woke up as a scream
I think they're bumping 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
These episodes and seasons
Without money, love, or reason
My heart's relieved
All these different names
For the exact same thing
I lost some friends in the van
But at least I have some
Just give me some gold
That I can turn into silence
Hotel slow day
And turn the page on all
Hotel parties
Hotel parties
Hotel parties
