Heartbreak Hotel (2023 Remaster)

I'm looking for some smiling faces
I'm searching for some good cheer
I wanna dance the night away
Like it's a Happy New Year
But look around and all you see
Are heads hanging way down low
There's tears in the beer
And hearts on the floor
Sad songs in stereo

It's like I'm sitting at the bar in the lobby
Of the old Heartbreak Hotel
Where everybody and their brother's
Just crying the blues

Well, Mary's at a table complaining
How her husband just don't understand
And Linda throws her hands to the heavens
Says, "I'll never find a decent man!"
And Darrin's throwing darts in the corner
But he's been missing every shot for years
He just fixes his eyes on the girls passing by
As he climbs into another beer

It's like I'm sitting at the bar in the lobby
Of the old Heartbreak Hotel
Where everybody and their brother's
Just crying the blues

If I could turn every frown upside-down
Lord, wouldn't that be a kick?
But the happy sounds don't hang around
And only the sorrow sticks

When you're sitting at the bar in the lobby
Of the old Heartbreak Hotel
Where everybody and their brother's
Just crying the blues

And there's a fellow preaching doom and gloom
To anybody who will lend an ear
He says a dark cloud's on the horizon
And the judgment day is near
The bartender keeps his distance
He figures he's heard it all
He just nods his head as he counts his bread
And the hours until last call

It's like I'm sitting at the bar in the lobby
Of the old Heartbreak Hotel
Where everybody and their brother's
Just crying the blues

It's like I'm sitting at the bar in the lobby
Of the old Heartbreak Hotel
Where everybody and their brother's
Just crying the blues

Just crying the blues
Just crying the blues
