Little Feat - Cadillac Hotel Lyrics
B. Payne, B. WrayYou can open the windowWhere the sunset meets the seaEverything's for saleEverything's for freeSweet mother MarySells her fortunes wellShe's got all the answersJust might save you from hellAcross the street at the bottomless cupYou can drink and drink but you canNever get enoughYou can have yours with sweet and lowYou might even have the blues to goOne shot JohnnyGot a dog on a ropeGoin' from table to tableWith a pocket full of hopeRodeo riders and scarlet womenLean against your wallsThe show they're waitin' forIs just three steps down the hallThe of king of jive looks like the queen of pleaseMakes his livin' on his hands and kneesYou give and you give 'till you give it allOh, just think if these walls could talk, ohI've climbed so highAnd I've surely fellEvery story has a heroDown at the Cadillac HotelEl Dorado SlimWorks behind the deskEither day or nightHe can handle any requestJ. C.'s screamin'Bout turnin' water to wineGot all in a big brown bagIn the lobby, just past nine, in an old MaytagThe homeless and haunted and street Van Gogh'sLace their souls up tightHang your coat on a fin, you finally got inGet ready for Cadillac nightAcross the street at the bottomless cupIt's not about money, you can never get enoughA handful of honesty, a fist full of prideIt's not how you live, it's how you surviveI've climbed so highAnd I've surely fellEvery story has a heroDown at the Cadillac HotelI've climbed so highAnd I've surely fellTen thousand feet to zeroDown at the Cadillac Hotel
