The Hotel At The End Of The World

(Dedicated to Douglas Adams and Neil Gaiman)

Stories fly, fashion in the sky
Colours dive, drown your brown eyes
Check out time, luggage's good to go
You don't know, you have to leave soon

Oh, but you have just arrived
Too late

Your dinner's cold, over cooked
And you sold your soul, to a crook
Running fast, make this night last
The world it ends, It depends

On you, but you just arrived
Too late

Explosive rain, it won't come again
Your room is booked, air-conditioning
The guest's are ready, for the end
You turn to leave, to pretend

Oh, but you have just arrived
Too late

Take this ship, crash it in the sun
Take this sand, make your dreams fun
Take this key, cash paid upfront
Take this life, there isn't another one

I know you've just arrived but
Too late

There are references to both 'Sandman' and 'The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy'. I suggest read both :)

Neil gaiman is secon only to alan moore..the day you said that itself made me want more of him..though i dont get the context of this one much..it reads smooth and calm...

The Hotel At The End Of The World can be either The Hotel at the end of space or at the end of time...

either ways there is no escape
