. 1. It's time to retreat To call off the war, to turn in the trumpets, To shut off our hearing aids to those who are bullet-riddled with Ritalin.
2. Leave passion at the door The coat rack is missing, but that's what people are for, Push them back into the closets with your woolen wares and see.
3. Check in your soul with the desk clerk The bellhop promises to bring it up soon, but the elevator is out of order. His trolly's wheels were stolen and the stairs are still on fire.
Sorry. No refunds.
4. Lock all the doors and tip your cows You're too tipsy for another round of room service anyways and the police are planning a raid. Tell the too young girls with the too old eyes the time has come to go and stitch your innocence back on.
5. Check your bedstand for a bible and a razor Ignore the ***** stains; the key to salvation was paid in sin. Put yourself on a pension plan because I hear the devil's running a good racket.
Sorry. No refunds.
6. Trash this place on Yelp. Trash this place in person. The devil is hiding in the woodwork and there's a people zoo of women dancing on the yellowed wallpaper. The carpet smells like Daddy's cigarettes and Mommy's drunken spit-up.
7. w̶r̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶m̶e̶s̶s̶a̶g̶e̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶m̶i̶r̶r̶o̶r̶ What a proud song: Here's to the the nihilists, here's to the named, Here's a vague attempt to mark the world in meaning.
