Bad Hotel (Extended Version) Lyrics

Well, he rolled into town with a lawyer and a frown

Reeking of a horrible smell

With a hatful of lies to cut 'em down to size

All he needed was a bad hotel

Things had been said, some had gone to his head

A past on which he won't dwell

A deal you can't ignore, gonna even the score

All he needed was a bad hotel

Follow that money, up to the sky

Nothing else matters, don't ask him why

Follow the money, you know the scent

You won't ever get there

But ain't you glad you went?

One by one, they came out to run

Thinking and speaking so well

In the dust and the dirt, he took off his shirt

Started wrestling at the opening bell

Uge sound and fury, no time to worry

He sent 'em all straight to hell

With the demons all cheering and the deacons all leering

Right in front of that bad hotel

Follow that money, up to the sky

Nothing else matters, don't ask him why

Follow the money, you know the scent

You won't ever get there

But ain't you glad you went?

He rigged all the games and took down names

Cooking up the wickedest spell

Jimmied the rules, played 'em all for fools

Left nothing but a burned-out shell

Good and fair, and beauty everywhere

Heard their ending knell

Under the neon eye, they laid down to die

At the door of that bad hotel

Follow that money, up to the sun

Burst into flames, it'll be such fun

Follow the money, you know when you're right

Hold your head high

While we all say goodnight
