Meyersville - Overlook

Frightened by struggle
A case of writer's block, I thought it'd help
Lighten my stumble
Close my eyes and shine the world as someone else
Somedays, it's all work, no play, I don't feel myself
Anyways, I'm such a dull boy
Anyways, late nights with Lloyd and the reserve shelf
Somedays, I'm such a dull boy
Climb into my time machine
Let's soar back to the roaring '20s
At the Overlook Hotel
At the Overlook Hotel
Where checkered carpets caress the corridors
Veiled vistas and heavenly hors d'oeuvres
Glitz and glam call from the ballroom
Where is the broom
Wake up, face her
You know you love her it must've been a dream
How's the caretaker
Mixed priorities, pressure severs the seams
Tomorrow's come too late
Oh well
Lloyd you might've sealed my fate
Room 237
Tub's filled to the brim, but the lady's gone
Selling her venom
Slave with heavy limbs 'til the crack of dawn
Somedays, it's all work, no play, I don't feel myself
Anyways, I'm such a dull boy
Malaise, internal tumult between an old friend
Hide it inside, explain it all through a genocide
Climb into my time machine
And soar more towards the roaring '20s
Our own serene and secret shell
At the Overlook Hotel
Where wicked winters waste away the estate
Seclusion surplus and riveting records set you straight
All overcast by the rows of green
What do you mean
Slug back a second Jack on the rocks
Rug wrap the knowledge and kick it off the docks
Plug in another Neil on the box
Rug wrap the knowledge and kick it off the docks
Typewriter's out of reach
Oh well
I wanna write this line in the right order
No misspells
The Gold Room's on its feet
My hair's gelled
The Fourth it creeps around the corner
Ain't life swell
Climb into my time machine
Let's soar back to the roaring '20s
My own personal peaceful hell
The very Overlook Hotel
Where checkered carpets caress the corridors
Veiled vistas and heavenly hors d'oeuvres
Searching for answers in the endless rows of green
What did you mean
