Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jesus in the day spa
Filling out the information form
Mama got her hair done
Just popping out to sing a protest song
I've been on a bender
Back to that prophetic esplanade
Where I ponder all the questions
But just manage to miss the mark
[Chorus]
Ooh
Good afternoon
Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino
Mark speaking
Please, tell me, how may I direct your call?
[Verse 2]
This magical thinking
Feels as if it really might catch on
Mama wants some answers
Do you remember where it all went wrong?
Technological advances
Really bloody get me in the mood
Pull me in close on a crisp eve, baby
Kiss me underneath the moon's side boob
[Chorus]
Good afternoon
Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino
Mark speaking
Please, tell me, how may I direct your call?
[Verse 3]
And do you celebrate your dark side
Then wish you'd never left the house?
Have you ever spent a generation
Trying to figure that one out?
[Chorus]
Ooh
Good afternoon
Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino
Mark speaking
Please, tell me, how may I direct your call?
