I checked in at 3 p.m. and I never checked out
`cause I got trapped between questions and shaddows of doubt.
The porter gave me the key to Room number 666
and the liftboy just mumbled : "we´ll fix it in the mix !"
The cleaningwoman had gone to find the holy grail
- to drink the blood of the guilty and the ones who never fail.
The waitress whispered : "I wish you well !"
and it smelled a little bit strange at Lucifer´s Hotel.

As I opened the door I couldn´t believe my eyes :
naked women everywhere but then I heard the cries
of all the punished sinners and all the fallen tears
and then I heard nothing anymore `cause someone had cut off my ears.
"Now you´ll only hear what I say !" said the devil with a grin.
I´m the owner of this place. Would you like a whiskey or a gin ?
I wanted to say `No thanks´ but then I thought : `What the hell
-I´m a dead man anyway - this is Lucifer´s hotel !´ "
Hang over city - where the rain burns red
hang over city - where you can dance with the living dead !

So we drank all night and we drank all day
and then I dared to ask him : "what´s the price I´ll have to pay ?"
"You didn´t understand !", he said, "I don´t know if you´ll end up here.
I just wanted to invite you as a guest to kill your fear
cause you live so carefully that you don´t dare to live at all.
You´ll be innocent as a baby when you hear the reaper call.
All I want´s to free you from your selfmade prison cell
and to show you around - here at Lucifer´s hotel !"

Hang over city ……

Then he called the gorgeous women and told `em to give me a kiss
and the rest of the procedure, too - "this is what you´re gonna miss
if you carry on like you did I promise you a boring life above
`cause there´s a big difference between our orgies and their platonic love.
That´s it for now, good night, my friend, enjoy yourself - goodbye !"
As I woke up the next morning I had back my ears and
I´ve been travelling around the world - left Hang over C. - and stories I can tell
`cause I chose the road that´ll lead for sure to Lucifer´s hotel

slide guit.-solo : Ferdy / guit-solo : Nils / Hammond-solo : Ferdy

Hang over city ………….
Down the road that leads to nowhere - far away from the wishing well
you carry your load to Hangover City - back to Lucifer´s Hotel
