What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I found myself lying on the balcony,
2
Stripling terror, naked to the bone;
3
The secret asteroid jungle nearly done for me -
4
I saw it all just a moment ago.
5
I know I'd better watch out
6
For the Central Hotel...
7
I'm not going back.
8
Repetition, superstition, singularity,
9
Though every cell in the body has changed
10
The walls move in well-accustomed hilarity -
11
The circuit changes,
12
But the joke stays the same.
13
I know I'd better watch out
14
For the Central Hotel
15
I think I'd better get out,
16
I'm not feeling so well.
17
And I won't be going back,
18
Not if I can help it.
19
I can't help it, I can't help it
20
If I still am what I was;
21
I can't help it, I can't help it,
22
Can't stop the therefore because
23
I can't help it.
24
The grace of god shows I'll be going on,
25
I'll be coming back.
26
I know nothing of the miles of the marathon,
27
I hear nothing of the footfall behind,
28
I search for rhythm and I find that I haven't one
29
Slow motion in the runner's mind.
30
I know I'd better watch out
31
For the Central Hotel
32
I think I'd better get out,
33
I'm not feeling so well
34
I know I'd better check out,
35
But anyone here can tell
36
I'll be coming back, I'll be back.
37
I'm the Central Hotel
