Carter Hotel
Josh Clark
Long forgotten red light a' shining
highlighting the stains on the wall
carnal leanings, sagging ceilings
all a'mingling like the olive and gin
worm king don't dig too deep
it's never as hard as it seems
evaporating like the mist in the noontimes
a warm bath like a bottle of moonshine
dripping faucets and old new york prophets
call to life lost souls in the pipes
Ashen faces solemnly pacing
past headboard made of carpet and lice
pigeon people and pick pocket minstrels
all have a light to shine
we all have a light to shine
and everything is gonna be just fine
