[Verse 1]
I wound up drinking backstage alone
And wondering why
We booked a show in Toronto
On the 4th of July
In a three day coma from the border flush
They're trying to make an example out of us

[Verse 2]
Gotta find a place to unload the last three weeks
Try to get tired enough for me to go to sleep

[Refrain]
Hotel parties are exactly what we need
Hotel parties always get the best of me

[Chorus]
Because the company I keep
They all live in my TV
Sometimes they lie with me while I sleep
'Cause episodes and seasons
Without money, love, or reason
My heart's leaving

[Verse 3]
Another freezing five hour post-show drive
And cars don't pass like ships sailing in the night
[Refrain]
Hotel parties making everything alright
Hotel parties always leave me feeling light

[Chorus]
They're having hotel parties even in my dreams
Went to sleep as a whisper just woke up as a scream
I think they're pumping something poison through the hotel vents
But I'm not sure just who I'm trying to convince
Because the company I keep
They all live in my TV
Sometimes they lie with me while I sleep
'Cause episodes and seasons
Without money, love, or reason
My heart's leaving

[Verse 4]
All those different names for the exact same thing
I lost some friends in the van but at least I can sing
Just give me some gold that I can turn into silence
While the towns slow-fade into the haze behind them

[Outro]
Hotel parties, oh
Hotel parties, oh
Hotel parties, oh, oh
Hotel parties, oh
Hotel parties, oh
Hotel parties, oh, oh
