Asleep at noon
After we drink a few
And you put on that tight red dress
We slip away for an hour or two
Don’t you love the hotel life?

It’s the quietest thing
We can love who we choose
Then change them out for somebody new
I could buy you a bird
Give you a sweet confirming word
Don’t you love the hotel life?

Then we sleep and you cuddle up to me
Darling, I didn’t ask for that shit
Now you’re alarmed
Cause you fell so easily
Honey turn around, let me zip you up for free

We love like we want
Then we close when we’re done
And I didn’t mean to really be myself
So your tears shouldn’t be
Cause at the start we’d agreed
You knew about the hotel life
You knew about the hotel life
