Still at home,
I’m still home
But I should have known
I should have known
That I didn’t know…
The room is waiting
It’s dark illuminating
My visions are hanging
Hanging on my bones
On my bones…
Time is a turning key
Staying and leaving
In room seventeen
Will I sleep?
Will I sleep?
One, two, a million-and-three
My mind becomes the black sea
My legs tied to the queen
Tied to the king
Untied to the dream…
Ghosts in my headset
Sing unheard duets
Between the sheets
One remembers, one forgets
One forgets…
I’m still home,
I’m still home…
Inside the Hotel Vendome
Inside the Hotel Vendome
Outside the Hotel Vendome…
