This is based on a piece by Jack Kerouac called "The Last Hotel". (applause)
You might think differently after you hear it
I'd like to dedicate this to Steve Allen, that great beat composer

The last hotel
I can see the black wall
I can see the silhouette on the window
He's talking, at a rhythm
He's talking, at a rhythm
But, I don't care
I'm not interested in what he's saying
I'm only interested in the last hotel
I'm only interested in the fact that it's the last hotel
Deep, discordant, dark, sweet
The last hotel
The last hotel
Ghosts in my bed
The goats I bled
The last hotel
