One a.m. and the sign still buzzin' Keycard demagnetized, I smile anyway Vending-machine halo on a scuffed tile floor Somebody’s perfume in a paper cup TV talking to the wall like it’s sure I came in small, I came in late I came in cheap, but I won’t shrink If the night is just a waiting room Then I’ll decide what it means In the lobby of light We get crowned for a minute Fluorescent white Like we meant every limit Hold your head up, hold it high Let the whole place watch us try In the lobby of light In the lobby of light Receptionist bored like a saint in glass Clock hands click like a heel on stage Ice machine coughs, then laughs again I read my name on the room key: rage No skyline, no velvet rope No choir, no clean escape Just a door that doesn’t lock right And a mirror that tells the truth in tape In the lobby of light We get crowned for a minute Fluorescent white Like we meant every limit Hold your head up, hold it high Let the whole place watch us try In the lobby of light In the lobby of light If I’m disposable, say it to my face I’ll turn the static into grace If it’s only for tonight I’ll still stand in it, I’ll still bite In the lobby of light We get crowned for a minute Fluorescent white Like we meant every limit Hold your head up, hold it high Let the whole place watch us try In the lobby of light Yeah, the lobby of light Check out later. I’m staying bright.
