I took a taxi to the edge of town
Where all the broken-hearted gather down
A neon sign is buzzing in the rain
A sanctuary for the lonely pain
I ask the clerk to give me any key
A place to hide away my misery
I'm walking slowly down the corridor
To face the ghosts inside of eighty-four
Checking in to the heartbreak hotel
A lonely heaven and a quiet hell
Living with the memory of your face
Stuck inside this solitary place
Oh, heartbreak hotel, room eighty-four
I left my happiness outside the door
Drinking the tears from a crystal glass
Watching the lonely shadows slowly pass
The wallpaper is peeling off the wall
I'm waiting for a voice to finally call
But only silence echoes in the night
Beneath the flicker of the yellow light
I ask the clerk to give me any key
A place to hide away my misery
I'm walking slowly down the corridor
To face the ghosts inside of eighty-four
Checking in to the heartbreak hotel
A lonely heaven and a quiet hell
Living with the memory of your face
Stuck inside this solitary place
Oh, heartbreak hotel, room eighty-four
I left my happiness outside the door
Drinking the tears from a crystal glass
Watching the lonely shadows slowly pass
Room eighty-four
Lonely shadows
