I wound up drinking backstage alone
And wondering why
We booked a show in Toronto
On the 4th of July
In a three day coma from the border flush
They're trying to make an example out of us
Gotta find a place to unload the last 3 weeks
Try to get tired enough for me to go to sleep
Hotel parties are exactly what we need
Hotel parties always get the best of me
Because the company I keep
They all live in my TV
Sometimes they lie with me while I sleep
Episodes and seasons
Without money, love, or reason
My heart's leaving
Another freezing 5 hour post-show drive
And cars don't pass like ships sailing in the night
Hotel parties making everything alright
Hotel parties always leave me feeling light
They're having hotel parties even in my dreams
What went to sleep as a whisper just woke up as a scream
I think they're pumping something poison through the hotel vents
But I'm not sure just who I'm trying to convince
Because the company I keep
They all live in my TV
Sometimes they lie with me while I sleep
Episodes and seasons
Without money, love, or reason
My heart's leaving
All these different names for the exact same thing
I lost some friends in the van but at least I can sing
Just give me some gold that I can turn into silence
While the towns slow-fade into the haze behind them
Hotel parties
Hotel parties
Hotel parties
Hotel parties
Hotel parties
Hotel parties
