Lyrics
The White Hotel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I want to be on that white-capped mountain peak
Above the lake, above my station
A moving carriage
The perfect marriage
Of life apart from destination
Ringing all the bells
Down at the white hotel
Tonight
I want to write the letters of persecution
To someone I don't know who doesn't know me
I want to be the dust inside a vacuum
An ice cube frozen in the melting sea
Ringing all the bells
Down at the white hotel
Ringing all the bells
Down at the white hotel
Tonight
