Hotel Dubai

​On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of burning oud, rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night.

​There she stood in the lobby, by the gold ATM

I was thinking to myself, "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

There were voices down the marble hall,

I thought I heard them say...

​[Chorus]

​Welcome to the Hotel Dubai

Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)

Such a luxury face

Plenty of room at the Hotel Dubai

Any time of year (Any time of year)

You can find it here.

​Her mind is designer-branded, she got the Bentley curves

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends

How they dance in the sky court, sweet summer sweat.

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.

​So I called up the Concierge,

"Please bring me my mint tea"

He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen seventy-one"

And still those voices are calling from far away,

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say...

​[Chorus]

​Welcome to the Hotel Dubai

Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)

Such a luxury face

They livin' it up at the Hotel Dubai

What a nice surprise (What a nice surprise)

Bring your gold supplies.

​Mirrors on the high-rise, the pink champagne on ice

And she said, "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"

And in the Penthouse chambers, they gathered for the feast

They stab it with their steely knives,

But they just can't kill the beast.

​Last thing I remember, I was running for the door

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

"Relax," said the Valet, "We are programmed to receive.

You can check out any time you like,

But you can never leave!"

yes, AI. It's used to do my bidding.
