Central Hotel

<br>I found myself lying on the balcony,<br>stripling terror, naked to the bone;<br>the secret asteroid jungle nearly done for me -<br>I saw it all just a moment ago.<br>I know I`d better watch out<br>for the Central Hotel...<br>I`m not going back.<br>Repetition, superstition, singularity,<br>though every cell in the body has changed<br>the walls move in well-accustomed hilarity -<br>the circuit changes,<br>but the joke stays the same.<br>I know I`d better watch out<br>for the Central Hotel<br>I think I`d better get out,<br>I`m not feeling so well.<br>And I won`t be going back,<br>not if I can help it.<br>I can`t help it, I can`t help it<br>if I still am what I was;<br>I can`t help it, I can`t help it,<br>can`t stop the therefore because<br>I can`t help it.<br>The grace of god shows I`ll be going on,<br>I`ll be coming back.<br>I know nothing of the miles of the marathon,<br>I hear nothing of the footfall behind,<br>I search for rythm and I find that I haven`t one<br>slow motion in the runner`s mind.<br>I know I`d better watch out<br>for the Central Hotel<br>I think I`d better get out,<br>I`m not f<br>eeling so well<br>I know I`d better check out,<br>but anyone here can tell<br>I`ll be coming back, I`ll be back.<br>I`m the Central Hotel<br>--
