As one of eight million people With an ax to grind It's all I can do To let myself unwind Postcards to the torture town I left so far behind Please don't ever leave me alone With my mind Somewhere monks are chanting To cure a disease And when it all comes together It's a spiritual tease Of the highest degree What am I walking into? A pit of money or a pit of despair? What room am I checking into? At the Hotel Mary Chang I'll see ya there, I'll see ya there Ready or not Here I come One foot in front of the other Chewing acid gum I don't know what's happening Could this be foreshadowing? The lights, they drive me crazy Changes happen suddenly Settling in now For your third degree I'm in the market for some more of me I'm the lone sane man In the asylum I deal in souls Got loads of space to file 'em I chant nonsense Holding serpents and vipers While driving through a shitstorm With faulty wipers This heat is real (we're either gonna die or lose a lot of weight) This heat we feel (we're either gonna die or lose a lot of weight) This heat is real (we're either gonna die or lose a lot of weight) This heat we feel (we're either gonna die or lose a lot of weight) This heat is real This heat we feel This heat we feel This heat we feel Why am I checking in here? 'Cause I accumulated points and got a deal So why do I have to stay here? At the Hotel Mary Chang Nothing is real, nothing is real Why do I waste away here? Because my hardened soul stopped working long ago So why do I face the fear? At the Hotel Mary Chang It's all I know, it's all I know
