Tra La La Hotel

You play the crowds You play them big Hotel bar gig, fancy dressing And I stand like I should be there Coat still on and a blind cold stare You play like it's music You play like it's music But I'm in no mood babe To act like it means the world to me Or to even stay You play it loud but it ain't right You make it sound No, I don't lose when you win But I do win when you lose The world has surely seen in you (I like you better when you're not around) The hero, the national poetry The French rising tide over Shakespeare But I see right through your eyes You're nothing but the party surprise You're good for my money Bad for my soul Spotlights running across the hall Hello, kissing good luck Fixing your hair while I wish you the worst You play like it's music You play like you made it It's more than rivalry It's love inside a cup of jealousy Do I even care You play it loud, but it ain't right You make it sound No I don't lose when you win But I do win when you lose The world has surely seen in you (I like you better when you're not around) The hero, the national poetry The French rising tide over Shakespeare But I see right through your eyes You're nothing but the party surprise Nothing but the side The main ingredient in my dreamy despise Can't you see I'm burning Cause when the guests go home Or find another place to spend their gold You're back to me, back again to me I like me better When you're not, around I like me, I like me better (I like it better, when silence's your sound) When you're not around No I don't lose when you win But I do win when you lose The world has surely seen in you (I like you better when you're not around) The hero, the national poetry The French rising tide over Shakespeare But I see right through your eyes You're nothing but the party surprise Nothing but the side The main ingredient in my dreamy despise Can't you see I'm burning Cause when the guests go home Or find another place to spend their gold You're back to me, back again to me
