Surely you remember this old resort hotel It's pink and white all over And historical as hell And Scott & Zelda stayed here And you and me as well At least that's how the story goes the porters like to tell Now a cold hard rain comes pourin down It wasn't like this last time around There's no calm center to this storm Oh baby why don't you quit leavin me alone There's nothin on the tv No message on the phone And nothin but an awful lot of nothin goin on And every radio station plays the same forsaken song You'd think I woulda had the sense to leave this place alone Some dreams die with dignity They fade out clean and quietly But some won't let you let em go Oh baby why don't you quit leavin me alone
