[Verse 1]
Welcome to the hotel
I really hope you'll enjoy your stay here
Welcome to the place where
There's nothing to fear
Except the blood on these walls
And the stains on these sheets
And the echos and calls
From the ghosts that don't sleep
[Chorus]
There's so many promises
That you have to make
If you sleep with your fingers crossed
You might not wake
There's so many secrets
You must never tell
You must promise to keep them hush
Welcome to the hotel
[Verse 2]
Darling, little baby
Welcome to hell
Welcome to the darkness
You are under a spell
You can have all you need
But you will always need more
You will never be free
Once you walk through this door
[Chorus]
There's so many promises
That you have to make
If you sleep with your fingers crossed
You might not wake
There's so many secrets
You must never tell
You must promise to keep them hush
Welcome to the hotel
[Bridge]
You don't have to loose your life
You just have to die
You can never hide your secrets
From the lady in white (it's alright)
You don't have to go to sleep
Once you do, you can never leave
Run now while you can
Or forever hold your peace
[Chorus]
There's so many promises
That you have to make
If you sleep with your fingers crossed
You might not wake
There's so many secrets
You must never tell
You must promise to keep them hush
Welcome to the hotel
