Hotel Walls

I signed the papers
 For a lifelong lease
 I rent the earth where I stand
 And the air I breathe
 Then you forget that
 Deal you meet with God
 While busy finding yourself
 Being young, being dumb and in love
 It's all too easy
 And you're easily bored
 Never once has it crossed your mind
 That life's too short
 And there's a third person walking behind us
 Tap on the back and it's there to remind us
 Life is a blink of an eye 'til you are no more
 So I stand back and I watch us fall
 As we break everything inside these hotel walls
 Life's for rent then you call us out
 So I hand back the key as the doorman bows
 They greet you welcome
 With roses and champagne
 When you walk through the lobby
 They all know your name
 But all beautiful things come with edges and thorns
 And the body you borrowed
 Is starting to look kinda worn
 So I stand back and I watch us fall
 As we break everything inside these hotel walls
 Life's for rent then you call us out
 So I hand back the key as the doorman bows
 We're just grains in the universe
 I let that comfort me when I'm anxious
 This life is beautifully ugly at times
 We're just grains in the universe
 I let that comfort me when I'm anxious
 This life is beautifully ugly at times
 It's beautifully ugly at times
 It's beautifully ugly at times
 It's beautifully ugly at times
 It's beautifully ugly at times
 So I stand back and I watch us fall
 As we break everything inside these hotel walls
 You know that life's for rent then you call us out
 So I hand back the key as the doorman bows
