Lyrics God's Hotel (Live Radio Session for KCRW Santa Monica) - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Everybody got a room

In God's Hotel.

Everybody got a room.

Well you'll never see a sign hanging on the door

Sayin 'No vacancies anymore'.

Everybody got wings

In God's Hotel.

Everybody got wings.

You'll never see a sign hanging on the door

Sayin 'At no time may both feet leave the floor'

Everybody got a harp

In God's Hotel.

Everybody got a harp.

You'll never see a sign hanging on the wall

Sayin 'No harps allowed in the hotel at all'.

Everybody got a cloud

In God's Hotel.

Everybody got a cloud.

You'll never see a sign hanging on the wall

Sayin 'Smoking and drinking will be thy downfall'.

Everybody hold a hand

In God's Hotel.

Everybody hold a hand.

You'll never see a sign hung up above your door

'No visitors allowed in rooms, By law!'

Everybody's halo shines

In God's Hotel.

Everybody's halo lookin' fine.

You won't see a sign staring at you from the wall

Sayin 'Lights out! No burnin the midnight oil!'

Everybody got credit

In God's Hotel.

Everybody got good credit.

You'll never see a sign stuck on the cash-box drawer

Sayin 'Credit tommorow!' or 'Want credit?!? Haw, haw haw!'

Everybody is blind

In God's Hotel.

Everybody is blind.

You'll never see a sign on the front door

'No red skins. No Blacks. And that means you, baw!'

Everybody is deaf

In God's Hotel.

Everybody is deaf.

You'll never find a sign peeling off the bar-room wall

'Though shalt not blaspheme, cuss, holler or bawl'.

Everybody is dumb

In God's Hotel.

Everybody is dumb.

So you'll never see on the visiting-room wall

'Though shalt not blaspheme, cuss, holler or bawl'.

Everybody got Heaven

In God's Hotel.

Everybody got Heaven.

So you'll never see scribbled on the bathroom wall

'Let Rosy get ya Heaven, dial 686-844!'
