lyrics

Hey Mr. Johnson,
You’ve overslept.
Are you thrilled to wake up?
‘Cause you’re holding your breath.

Front desk, it happened again
Up in 133.

Ave Maria,
Dominous Deuce!
Are these rosary beads
Or the plies of the noose?

Your checkout time’s
at the end of eternity.

Sorry this place has a tendency to get morose,
And that’s why every room
comes equipped with a signature joke.
See, the setup is what brought you here
And the punchline… the punchline…


Continental breakfast,
The coffee’s hot.
But the groundwater’s cold
In your burial plot.

Oh no, the ice machine’s
Once again on the fritz.

So let’s boil the curtains
And strip the bed.
Lay two mints on the pillows
And eyes of the dead.

When I go, I hope that I go
Someplace better than this.

I do understand, I’m not solely aloof.
You can drown in the pool,
You can leap from the roof.
And though death in a hotel is kind of cliché,
Everyone wants to hear the words “enjoy your stay.”
And your family won’t see it.
Your friends won’t come near it.
Just make sure that you leave a tip for the maid.

I’m so sorry this place has a tendency to get morose,
And that’s why every room comes equipped with a signature joke.
See, the setup is what brought you here,
And the punchline…

The punchline’s there in the mirror.
The punchline’s there in the mirror.
The punchline’s there in the mirror.
