lyrics

If you were to die in a hotel room at night, would the maid come in the morning? Would she die of fright?

Would she change the linen, notify the next of kin and then get straight to work replacing miniature shampoos?

Would she move your body or would she let you be?
What if you were clutching the remote for the TV?

She might dust the lampshade, or she might vacuum up
She just might quit her job and say she’d seen enough

And in the hotel lobby, suitcase in hand, stands the archetype of the modern businessman

Hearing the commotion from room 202, he’d make a point to stay there on his travels through

He would lie so silent, in the bed where your heart stopped beating
And wonder to himself oh can I recreate this feeling

Starting to imagine the life you must have lived
He’d wonder if you did regret the living that you did

The missing information was that you knew your fate
You picked that palindrome hotel room for that specific date

You wouldn’t want your children to find you on the floor
You’d rather have a Molly Maid come knock at your death’s door
