Like waves of neon on the wall, Flashing a welcome sign. All the faces you can’t recall. The first, the last, the curtain call, Just suits standing in a line. Working girls and lonesome guys Stalk around like cold war spies, Fearful to be seen. Greedy pimps and jealous wives Searching all the joints and dives, Hope to intervene. Eyes see, but lips won’t tell At the destiny hotel. Money counts and eyes avert, Socks and pants and pleated skirt fall upon the floor. Screams of passion hide the hurt, Cry out love and feel like dirt, Stained forever more. Car doors slam day and night. Teeth that nibble and words that bite Leave marks you dare not show. The private passions, the public slight, The policeman reading you your rights As if you didn’t know. John rings the counter bell At the destiny hotel.
