Whiskeyclone, Hotel City 1997 Lyrics

(One more time..)

[Verse 1]
I was born in this hotel
Washing dishes in the sink
Magazines and free soda
Trying hard not to think

[Chorus]
Lay it on to the dawn
Everything we done is wrong
I'll be lonesome when I'm gone
Lay it on to the dawn

[Bridge]
She can talk to squirrels (oh, ho yeah)
Coming back from the convalescent home (oooh)
Staring at sports cars
Crying

[Verse 2]
Rattlesnake on the ceiling
Gunpowder on my sleeve
I will live here forever
With the ocean and the bees
[Chorus]
Lay it on to the dawn
Everything we done is wrong
I'll be lonesome when I'm gone
Lay it on to the dawn

[Outro]
Lay it on to the dawn
Lay it on to the dawn
Lay it on to the dawn

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
