[Verse 1]
I'm sitting in this hotel room tonight
Somewhere above my head, the Hollywood sign burning bright
Through the walls I hear lovers fight
The TV's on, I keep it playing for the light
There's ringing in my ears all the same
Beneath that noise, a silence so divine
20 dollars for a drink from the minibar
Stare at the sky but can't see any stars

[Chorus]
Awake, in this borrowed room
Thoughts spinning in the cosmos like a moon
Awake, my dreams in a line
Waiting for my mind to go black

[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm

[Verse 2]
I listen to the ghosts in the corridors
All the men and women that were here before
Just a stranger in this strange town
I'll be forgotten tomorrow when they turn the bed down

[Chorus]
Awake, in this borrowed room
Thoughts spinning in the cosmos like a moon
Awake, my dreams in a line
Waiting for my mind to go black

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3]
All the lonely hearts, that travelled so far
To drink in bars where no one knows your name
To the night we belong, our stories, our song
Spirits dance in the corner of our eyes
Raise your glass with trembling hands
Curse the devil as you stand

[Outro]
Hear him laugh, drink deep anyway
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Hear him laugh, drink deep anyway
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Hear him laugh, drink deep anyway
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
