《The Beat Hotel》歌词

[00:00:00] Beat Hotel - Stockfisch Records

[00:00:24] Paris nineteen fifty six

[00:00:26] Number nine rue Git le Coeur

[00:00:29] Word is out and everybody's

[00:00:31] Beating on the door

[00:00:33] Madame Rachou will let you in

[00:00:36] Just smile and ring the bell

[00:00:38] Welcome to Nirvana

[00:00:42] At the Beat hotel

[00:00:49] The sweet smell of pernod

[00:00:51] A gauloise cigarette

[00:00:53] It's a cosmic congregation

[00:00:55] But you ain't seen nothing yet

[00:00:58] It's an open invitation

[00:01:00] An existential clientele

[00:01:03] All looking for Nirvana

[00:01:06] At the Beat hotel

[00:01:13] They looked for it in New York City

[00:01:15] And San Francisco Bay

[00:01:18] They looked for in bebop jazz

[00:01:20] And it blew them all away

[00:01:22] They tried out every avenue

[00:01:25] And then said what the hell

[00:01:27] We'll look for it in Paris

[00:01:31] At the Beat hotel

[00:01:37] Burroughs came up from tangiers

[00:01:39] Ginsberg from New York

[00:01:42] Kerouac came up from Italy

[00:01:44] And slept out in the park

[00:01:46] Gregory Corso came and went

[00:01:49] And where he's at no one can tell

[00:01:51] He's still looking for Nirvana

[00:01:55] At the Beat hotel

[00:02:01] Take me to your leader

[00:02:03] Take me to the man

[00:02:06] Someone has got the answer

[00:02:08] Someone's got the perfect plan

[00:02:10] If you're looking in the alleys

[00:02:13] If you're looking in the bars

[00:02:15] You'll find us in the gutter

[00:02:19] Looking at the stars

[00:02:30] This ragged band of poets

[00:02:32] Christians Buddhists Jews

[00:02:34] A new beat generation

[00:02:37] Searching for the muse

[00:02:39] Some found it in the arms

[00:02:41] Of a mystic mademoiselle

[00:02:44] Looking for Nirvana

[00:02:48] At the Beat hotel

[00:02:54] The rooms count up to forty one

[00:02:56] But you can sleep out in the hall

[00:02:58] For a few centimes you can get a drink

[00:03:00] And write your poems on the wall

[00:03:03] And the m*******a mixes

[00:03:05] With the tukish toilet smell

[00:03:08] It's all part of Nirvana

[00:03:11] At the Beat hotel

[00:03:17] Alex Campbell strums an old guitar

[00:03:20] Someone picked up in spain

[00:03:22] Ginsberg's howling poetry

[00:03:24] And kerouac's drunk again

[00:03:27] The rent is overdue

[00:03:29] There must be something they can sell

[00:03:32] Maybe they can sell Nirvana

[00:03:35] At the Beat hotel

[00:03:41] Someone's taking photographs

[00:03:44] Janine takes off her clothes

[00:03:46] Marlene's meditating

[00:03:48] And concentrating on her toes

[00:03:51] Jasmine hides in room sixteen

[00:03:53] And curls up in her shell

[00:03:55] She's communing with Nirvana

[00:03:59] At the Beat hotel

[00:04:05] Take me to your leader

[00:04:07] Take me to the man

[00:04:09] Someone has got the answer

[00:04:12] Someone's got the perfect plan

[00:04:14] If you're looking in the alleys

[00:04:16] If you're looking in the bars

[00:04:19] You'll find us in the gutter

[00:04:23] Looking at the stars

[00:04:33] They did it for the journey

[00:04:35] And not for getting there

[00:04:38] Fame is in a whisper

[00:04:40] When you pay the taxi fare

[00:04:42] It's just this side of heaven

[00:04:45] And a long long way from hell

[00:04:47] It's somewhere in Nirvana

[00:04:51] At the Beat hotel

[00:04:57] Nothing lasts forever

[00:04:59] And forever's in a rhyme

[00:05:01] It's a Buddha like connection

[00:05:03] And everybody has their time

[00:05:06] If you want to drink the water

[00:05:08] You've got to dig into the well

[00:05:10] Maybe then you'll find Nirvana

[00:05:14] At the Beat hotel

[00:05:20] It was over by nineteen sixty three

[00:05:22] And everyone had gone

[00:05:25] But they'd opened up the road

[00:05:26] And the revolution was getting won

[00:05:29] When the poems were painted over

[00:05:32] And they rang the final bell

[00:05:34] It was goodbye to Nirvana

[00:05:38] At the Beat hotel

[00:05:44] The myth is stronger than the truth

[00:05:46] And truth can sometimes lie

[00:05:48] To see it all for what it was

[00:05:50] You need an uncorrupted eye

[00:05:53] Was the journey worth it

[00:05:56] Only time will tell

[00:05:57] Still looking for Nirvana

[00:06:01] At the Beat hotel

[00:06:07] Take me to your leader

[00:06:09] Take me to the man

[00:06:11] Someone has got the answer

[00:06:13] Someone's got the perfect plan

[00:06:16] If you're looking in the alleys

[00:06:18] If you're looking in the bars

[00:06:20] You'll find us in the gutter

[00:06:25] Looking at the stars

[00:06:29] Looking at the stars

[00:06:34] We're looking at the stars
