Love Hotel
Neil Young & The Trans Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you travel with
Those who know you well
I can recommend
Stay at Love Hotel.

Every room a hallway
Softly sell
Don't get
stranded on the lift
Of the Love Hotel
Love Hotel,
Love Hotel,
Love Hotel.

Don't deny yourself
It wants simple truth
Ring for give and take
As the floor and room.

Every room a hallway
Who can tell
Don't get
stranded by the lift
Of the Love Hotel
Love Hotel,
Love Hotel,
Love Hotel.

Every room a hallway
Softly sell
Don't get
stranded by the lift




Of the Love Hotel
Love Hotel, Love Hotel.
