Hotel Istanbul Songtext / Lyric

Hotel Istanbul and I was folded at the table

Well, the caberet was dull

And yes the yellow moon half-empty

So I slid between the bars

And I cast away my runes

On the cab ride via Mars

And I landed in this room



Pissed, I twist the mystery radio dial

I found a voice that almost raised a smile

It was just like yours

And I fantasize translation

And it's just like you

To call when I'm exposed






Damn your eyes

So blue

To have you near me

One red flare

If you're there

And you can hear me



Hotel Istanbul and I was notifying strangers

that my pugilistic flare could mean a consequential danger

But the maitre'd was deft and I was parting from my breath

His way of asking me to leave

It was a very sorry scene



Pissed, I just insist that no one cares

That love has only thrown me down the stairs

Then I hear your voice

Full of love and understanding

And I know your voice

Will always call me home



Damn your eyes

So blue

To have you near me

One red flare

If you're there

And you can hear me
