Elbow - Hotel Istanbul lyrics

Hotel Istanbul and I was folded at the table Well, the cabaret was dull And yes the yellow moon half-empty So I slid between the bars And I cast away my runes On the cab ride via Mars And I landed in this room Pissed, I twist the mystery radio dial I found a voice that almost raised a smile It was just like yours And I fantasize translation And it's just like you To call when I'm exposed Damn your eyes So blue To have you near me One red flare If you're there And you can hear me Hotel Istanbul and I was notifying strangers that my pugilistic flare could mean a consequential danger But the maitre'd was deft and I was parting from my breath His way of asking me to leave It was a very sorry scene Pissed, I just insist that no one cares That love has only thrown me down the stairs Then I hear your voice Full of love and understanding And I know your voice Will always call me home Damn your eyes So blue To have you near me One red flare If you're there And you can hear me
