[Verse 1]
The elevator in the hotel lobby has a lazy door
The man inside is going to a hotel room
He jumped out right after seein' just the very sight of me
Decided he better hike it to the second floor

[Hook]
It's temporary, this place I'm in
I permanently won't do this again
My belongings scattered all across the hotel floor

[Verse 2]
Now and later, I was thinkin' it over by the snack machine
I thought about you and a candy bar
The Now and Laters, now and I've got 'em stuck between my teeth
I fell asleep to the greatest movie of the year

[Hook]
A man gets lonely, for Heaven's sake
He's wonderin' only what did you do today
The world is spinnin' 'round into an old, sad song

[Verse 3]
Well it's comin' down outside like I've never even seen before
I fell into some kind of sorry state
Lookin' back now, I think it's finally time for me to laugh about it
Get my things together and find something to say

[Hook]
Well I feel awful and I believe
Time gets wasted in this misery
And darling I never wanna come back home
