VERSE 1
My standing reservation
Lay me down as I please
Spacious rooms with sidewalks
under spreading trees
Sweet panoramic view
Green carpet 'tween my toes
Acorns and leaves strewn all
through my clothes


CHORUS
IÃ??m living in Park Hotel Pasadena
(Park Hotel Pasadena)
Just milling round Park Hotel Pasadena
(Park Hotel Pasadena)
Staying at Park Hotel Pasadena
(Park Hotel Pasadena)
Pray deliverance from Park Hotel Pasadena
(Park Hotel Pasadena)


VERSE 2
Passers-by stroll through my room
Some look me in the eye
Some pass a little coin
All keep passing right on by
I pull up this blanket of
stars 'round my shoulders
The world keeps speeding on
I lay here getting older


BRIDGE
Wanting more is not the problem
I want more, thatÃ??s my choice
What I need are options
Trying to hold onto hope
(hold onto hope)
This park address
where IÃ??m existing
I canÃ??t stay here forever
IÃ??ll keep on subsisting
Till I can do something better
(something better)
Something better



VERSE 3
Warm morning sun and squirrels
my daily wake-up call
Need a fresh reason
to wake up at all
I run to the amphitheater
to escape the winter rain
Starring in my tragic role
on this real-world stage


AMENDED CHORUS & FADEOUT
IÃ??m living in Park Hotel Pasadena
(Park Hotel Pasadena)
Just milling round Park Hotel Pasadena
(Park Hotel Pasadena)
Staying at Park Hotel Pasadena
(Park Hotel Pasadena)
Pray deliverance from Park Hotel Pasadena
(Park Hotel Pasadena)

If you call this living IÃ??m
(Park Hotel Pasadena)
If you dare call this living IÃ??m
(Park Hotel Pasadena)
If you call this living IÃ??m
(Park Hotel Pasadena)
If you dare call this living IÃ??m
(Park Hotel Pasadena)
If you dare, if you dare
If you call this living IÃ??m
