Headlay - Chill House in Chinatown Lyrics

Overslept out in the car again
Over feeling the weights of decision
Window rolls down to greet morning fog
But all he tastes is the city smog
Already 6pm, he feels the grasp of twilight
What a terrible night to not feel alright
To be as a shadow of his former self
And this evening feels right for a hotel
Far down the street he's parked
He sees a brilliant shining light
With no one there to greet him
But an arrow points down further right
Meanders down the alley
Towards a door labelled The Chill House
Guardian lions stand at either side
Glowing crimson in the night
He ponders to himself if this feels right
Will he find two tales, entwined
Will he be able to leave it all behind
Reaching, he grabs the knob and turns
Opening to his heart's desire
The Chill House in Chinatown
Leave your woes behind and come drown
Tapestries of woven gold
Take off your shoes and put your feet on the ground
And dragons line the walls
Carpets of suede, so plush, no rush
Here you'll find the Heaven
On earth, Heathers on earth
One look behind the silken curtains
At a bar that hides your shame
Time to get jaded as a dragon
And for tonight, forget his own name
A hand glides across his shoulder
How many of those drinks have you had
And he looks into the face of beauty
Looks like it's last call
Like poison pulled from a wound
Are you gonna be OK
His heart aches a bit less
And turns to yearning
Should we get this to go
Chill House in Chinatown
All means of pleasure found
They won't let you come down
When the rains start to pound
But when he starts to come down
He knows he has to leave town
What have I done
Did I stay here all night
Did I come here because of that fight
Another bender
Need to get out of here
What is this life I've led
A train is calling my name
Chill House in Chinatown
There you'll find a heaven
Chill House in Chinatown
Wait, why are you leaving
