last of the trilogy-
On a dark high plains highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm, sweet smell of coeds, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering red light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the Victory Bells
And I was thinking to myself
This could be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle and showed me the way
There were voices across campus
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel Mediocrity
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel Mediocrity
Any time of year, any time of year you can find it here
Her mind is Target twisted, she got the Mazda Bends
She got lots of pretty pretty boys, she calls friends
How they dance on the Stangel Beach, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
She called up the Coach
Please bring me my Championship
He said “we haven’t had that spirit here since——well never”
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear you say
Welcome to the Hotel Mediocrity
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They’re living it up at the Hotel Mediocrity
What a nice surprise, what a nice surprise
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling
Don Julio 1942 on ice
We are all just prisoners here of our own device
And in the AD’s chamber, they gather for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can’t kill the beast
Last thing I remember as I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the President and AD
We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave
