The elevator, in the hotel lobby has a lazy door
The man inside is going to a hotel room
He jumped out right after seeing just the very sight of me
Decided he better hike it to the second floor
It's temporary, this place I'm in
I permanently won't do this again
My belongings scattered all across the hotel floor
Now and later, I was thinking it over by the snack machine
I thought about you and a candy bar
The Now and Laters, now that I've got, stuck between my teeth
I fell asleep to the greatest movie of the year
A man gets lonely, for heavens sake
He's wondering only what did you do today
The world's spinning 'round to an old, sad song
Well it's coming down outside like I never even seen before
I fell into some kind of sorry state
But looking back now, I think it's finally time for me to laugh about it
And get my things together and find something to say
Well I feel awful, and I believe
That time gets wasted in this misery
And darling, I don't ever wanna come back home
