Midwest Hotel

[Verse 1] In a Midwest hotel A man waits for his meal And he knows so well The corners and baseboards of his eight-by-eight cell And he needs it So much that he'd never leave it For the sake of his mental health Watch it anytime he spends it on anybody other than his working class self [Chorus] Oh, pull that chain a little tighter, man 'Til you start to relax and all the angels laugh 'Cause you don't get to have it back Oh, show them all you were a fighter, man Won't you look at that? Now you're covered in sweat, tryin' so hard to forget [Verse 2] In the hindsight He couldn't spare a minute of his time Did what he thought was right For the simple exchange of his appetite And on the third floor He gets up out of bed again Can't remember what he's lookin' for So he tries every code to the lock on his door [Chorus] Oh, pull that chain a little tighter, man 'Til you start to relax and all the angels laugh 'Cause you don't get to have it back Oh, show them all you were a fighter, man Won't you look at that? Now you're covered in sweat, tryin' so hard to forget [Chorus] Oh, pull that chain a little tighter, man 'Til you start to relax and all the angels laugh 'Cause you don't get to have it back Oh, show them all you were a fighter, man Won't you look at that? Now you're covered in sweat, tryin' so hard to forget Oh, pull that chain a little tighter, man 'Til you start to relax and all the angels laugh 'Cause you don't get to have it back Oh, show them all you were a fighter, man Won't you look at that? Now you're covered in sweat, tryin' so hard to forget
