A man walks through the door
Abandons his Newport
'Cause she can't take the smoke
Nor can the guests she hosts
It's after their break, but before their fight
Their friends turn in as they dim the lights
But they'll be awake well into the night
They could take the stairs
But I think they'll wait
For the elevator
Just to take a chance
She could walk the floor
While he holds the door
Just to go back down
And up again
A bell's rung at the desk
By an unattended mess
She feels he's at his best
But all he wants is rest
He looks on down just to check his name
These sleepless nights that he wouldn't change
'Cause this hotel wouldn't be the same
They could take the stairs
But I think they'll wait
For the elevator
Just to take a chance
She could walk the floor
While he holds the door
Just to go back down
And up again
They could take the stairs
But I think they'll wait
For the elevator
Just to take a chance
She could walk the floor
While he holds the door
Just to go back down
And up again
