you opened your eyes and you killed museum of fallen stars you killed it for fun, you killed for fun with your eyes you should've known that you had such sad eyes and when you killed that museum and laughed in the shadows with your friend the wolf well you threw back some beers you toasted the devil himself he should've known that you can't see to well. and when you threw back your hands and you covered your face with a carousel well it was too dark to tell but i figured you looked like a fool you should've known that you can't fool yourself and when i saw you again you were in a museum of pornography you looked in my eyes you told me your hands were so raw i should've know you were above the law you opened you mouth and you killed a museum of innocence there were bras on the floor there were jock-straps behind every door i think we all know what you're looking for and when you killed that museum and you swallowed your weight in regret my suspicions where proved by the hoof-prints found outside your door i think we all know what he put them for and when you threw back your head and you swallowed a hogshead of tooth decay well you couldn't be swayed your resolve left us all so amazed we all knew that it would never fade and when i saw you again you were in a museum of fallen leaves well it was quite the museum it was the finest museum i could find you should've seen the way the crowd went wild well i cried and i cried all night till the little birds go oooooo they go ooooo why'd you lie? tell me why'd you have to lie to me like that? don't you know it makes me cry baby and i stay up all night and i never get no sleep till the little birds go ooooooo they go ooooo well i sold my soul for a cigarette and i want it back but i always forget and i go oooooo and i always go ooooooo and i sold my eyes for a peice of roast beef i want em back but i can not see i feel so dumb, i feel such a fool i got nothin in my head but paper and glue and i go oooooo and i go ooooooo
3.
you're got buildings i've got buildings we've got burning buildings in our hearts you've got children 10 bright childern we've got tiny children in our hearts when you covered me up completely with a peice of dust that you fold so neatly underneath my skin and you curled up completely with your little head tucked beneath me and you told me what to say i'm only lookin for some secrets that's why i'm covered with dew there's not much room behind this mirror but i'll make some room for you i only wanted to just see him and now i know you do too we're both just lookin to get our feet wet it's some popular dew you've got rivers i've got rivers we've got ice cold rivers in our hearts when you covered me up completely with a piece of dark that you held so neatly in between your jaws
4.
you were feeling up the glare it was getting everywhere stuck in teeth and eyebrow hair you were headed to the zoo shootin zebras two by two wearin someone else's do the snow will make fat men of us all
5.
doin drugs in the morning in the cemetery grass they found us mangled and covered in dew there was nothing left but our laughs we crowded around some headphones that we found beside a grave we put them up to our ears and we listened to dead people bath

i wanted to match your glow with an apple that i taught regret but you smashed that fruit and you spat on my shoes and you drew and airplane flying through my head i might as well be dead let those fireflies chew off my legs cause i don't wanna ever dance no more i wanted to make you swoon with a lightbulb that i taught to fly but you took that bulb and you chewed it to a pulp and you spat out fifty full grown fireflies but it was all a lie all those fireflies were made out of dust and i don't wanna watch them glow no more i wanted to make you cry with a cowboy that i taught restraint but you snapped him in two and you buttered his boots and you threw him out into the pouring rain well it really ruined my day i had to glue him back together again and i don't think he'll ever dance no more

let’s all go to a place i know the hotel double tragedy it’s a famous hotel where the ghosts all go the hotel double tragedy the lights are low let your pulse beat slow the hotel double tragedy if you get out alive then the stay is free the hotel double tragedy but you’ll lose track of time and the days will seems like weeks the hotel double tragedy you will meld with the light into a brand new tragedy the hotel double tragedy
10.
well you live off a trumpet that you polish with blood but you don't even like it and you only played it once we used to be such good friends you made fun of lovers and you made fun of dice you made fun of me but you only did it twice we used to be such good friends you carry your poison like a samurai blade you're in love with that poison you'll carry it to your grave we used to be such good friends you drink like a tiger in a suicide pact if you wanna live forever you better clean up your act we used to be such good friends

about

The Hotel Double Tragedy is constantly burning. You will be too with these new hits from the family! Simply listen to the album at a decent volume and watch your life fall apart. We were thinking of releasing this album under the pretense that it was found under the bed of a dead priest who was the grandfather of a couple of members of the Vaselines, but we thought better of it. You deserve the TRUTH! You deserve magic in POP ATTITUDE! You deserve ONE ANCIENT JANGLE! In ten seconds FLAT! You deserve HOTEL DOUBLE TRAGEDY! Get one today for yourself or for someone you care about.

we were all born in a bathtime suicide mission. nothing was left but a pair of sunglasses that are still bleeding to this day. at the stroke of midnight you can hear them sing out of desperation.
