Hell's More or Less the Same

Well the room had gone quiet, all the cocaine was gone
Just a few worn out extras hanging out on the lawn
One reached in his pocket, he swore he had change
There's a few new faces, but hell's more or less the same

Passed out on the carpet, flea-bitten and stoned
We all came here together just to sleep here alone
Johnny awoke at the sound of the train
It creeps past the window, and hell's more or less the same

There's this frightened dog, yeah, he ran up the stairs
Just to bark at someone that he knew wasn't there
You know the cat ate the trash but the dog took the blame
They're both dead now, and hell's more or less the same

So the cops they came in, they wouldn't say for what
So we all just assumed what the other had done
Then the picture cried out, I swear I've been framed
They left the nail in the wall, but hell's more or less the same

There's this actress on the roof, to the chimney she's tied
Auditioning for the role of Frankenstein's bride
Lightning struck, her hair turned to gray
She's still waiting for the callback, but hell's more or less the same

Well I'd leave if I could but the back door is locked
Now I wouldn't know what to do even if it's not
I'll call you sometime when the dude finds the change
We're under new ownership, but hell's more or less the same
