Took a pretty girl to Paris   She was a millionaire heiress   I didn’t love her and she didn’t love me   And we stayed up drinking ‘til the morning      Chorus:   Shelter hotel, shelter hotel   I love your loneliness   I hear the night’s cathedral bells   Shelter hotel      But what a bitch in the morning   And it rained every damn day   Just give me something so I have something   that I can throw away   There was a war on the TV we had it on without the sound   Go get some wine and watch the rain come down      Repeat chorus      And I want to stay but I know better than that   I've been in love so many times that now it barely makes a scratch   She was taking off her dress   We barely noticed when outside the darkness fell   Shelter hotel
