Feel so
Is of a cutting of Straws album
And it's entitled, "Hotel Hobbies"
ย
Hotel hobbies padding dawns hollow corridors
Bell boys checking out the hookers in the bar
Slug-like fingers trace the star-spangled clouds of cocaine on the mirror
The short straw took its bow
The tell-tale toking of the last cigarette
Marking time in the packet as the whiskey sweat
Lies like discarded armor on an unmade bed
And a familiar craving is a-crawling in his head
ย
And the only sign of life is the ticking of the pen
Deducing characters to memories like old friends
Frantic as a cardiograph, scratching out the lines
A fever of confession, a catalogue of crime in happy hour
Enjoy the happy hour
Do you cry in happy hour?
This pilgrimage to happy hour
ย
New shadows tugging at the corner of his eye
Jostling for attention
With the sunlight flares through a curtain's tear
Shuffling its beams as if in nervous anticipation
Of another day
ย
