The Hotel Mary Chang

As one of eight million people
With an ax to grind
It's all I can do
To let myself unwind

Postcards to the torture town
I left so far behind
Please don't ever leave me alone
With my mind

Somewhere monks are chanting
To cure a disease
And when it all comes together
It's a spiritual tease
Of the highest degree

What am I walking into?
A pit of money or a pit of despair?
What room am I checking into?
At the Hotel Mary Chang
I'll see ya there, I'll see ya there

Ready or not
Here I come
One foot in front of the other
Chewing acid gum

I don't know what's happening
Could this be foreshadowing?
The lights, they drive me crazy
Changes happen suddenly

Settling in now
For your third degree
I'm in the market for some more of me

I'm the lone sane man
In the asylum
I deal in souls
Got loads of space to file 'em

I chant nonsense
Holding serpents and vipers
While driving through a shitstorm
With faulty wipers

This heat is real (we're either gonna die or lose a lot of weight)
This heat we feel (we're either gonna die or lose a lot of weight)
This heat is real (we're either gonna die or lose a lot of weight)
This heat we feel (we're either gonna die or lose a lot of weight)
This heat is real
This heat we feel
This heat we feel
This heat we feel

Why am I checking in here?
'Cause I accumulated points and got a deal
So why do I have to stay here?
At the Hotel Mary Chang
Nothing is real, nothing is real

Why do I waste away here?
Because my hardened soul stopped working long ago
So why do I face the fear?
At the Hotel Mary Chang
It's all I know, it's all I know
