Took a pretty girl to Paris She was a millionaire heiress I didn't love her and she didn't love me And we stayed up drinking ‘til the morning Chorus: Shelter hotel, shelter hotel I love your loneliness I hear the night's cathedral bells Shelter hotel But what a b**h in the morning And it rained every damn day Just give me something so I have something that I can throw away There was a war on the TV we had it on without the sound Go get some wine and watch the rain come down Repeat chorus And I want to stay but I know better than that I've been in love so many times that now it barely makes a scratch She was taking off her dress We barely noticed when outside the darkness fell Shelter hotel
