[Intro] [wah guitar chops Congas rolling Wood blocks ticking] Up here on the mountain Ain’t a neighbor for miles Got a key for every hallway And a head full of trials [Verse 1] Name’s Jack Got a typewriter Got a wife Got a little boy too We the caretakers Baby Hotel waitin’ on what I’m gonna do Snow climbin’ every window White walls Whisperin’ my name Every night I face that paper Every day I feel the same [Chorus] All work and no play Gonna make Jack lose his mind (oh yeah) These halls talkin’ to me They ain’t speakin’ kind All work and no play Got me slippin’ day by day Wendy Danny better run now When the man of the house can’t pray [Verse 2] Wendy servin’ up dinner Tryna smile Keep the fear tucked in Danny ridin’ through the corridors Say he seein’ things under my skin Carpet red like a warning Ice on the inside too I pour another glass in the gold room Can’t remember what I came to do [Chorus] All work and no play Gonna make Jack lose his mind Type the same sad sentence Till it blur into a sign All work and no play Hear it echo where they stay That door ain’t just a doorway It’s standin’ in my way [Bridge] [strings swell Tuba and trombone stab between lines] Here’s a man with a promise Said he’d write Said he’d change his fate Here’s a man with an axe in his shadow And a heart pickin’ up that weight (yeah) Baby Open up the bathroom Let me show you I’m okay Or you can climb out the window While I tear this whole dream away [Chorus] All work and no play Gonna make Jack lose his mind (lose his mind) Hotel got his number Signed his soul on the dotted line All work and no play Storm comin’ where they lay Wendy hold that boy a little tighter Till this madness melts away [Outro] [band drops to bass Drums And wah guitar] All work and no play That’s the price that Jack must pay All work and no play Fade to white Fade away
