Hotel Taiwan -The Eagles got it wrong!

Hey, I posted this back in 2003 :slight_smile:

On a green coloured freeway
Exhaust in my hair
Warm smell of choudofu
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood at the binlang stand
I heard the garbage truck’s bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a longlife
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel Formosa
Such a lovely place
Such a crowded place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of ESL work at the Hotel Formosa
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
You can find it here
You can find it here

Her mind is SOGO twisted
She’s got her Daddy’s benz
She’s got a lot of pretty, foreign boys
That she calls friends
How they dance on the bar top
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to get laid
Some dance for the rent
So I called up the laoban
Please bring me my gatorade
He said
We haven’t had that drink here since 1998
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel Formosa
Such a lovely Place
Such a dirty Place (background)
Such a lovely face
They’re livin’ it up at the Hotel Formosa
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (background)
Bring your alibies

Binlang juice on the sidewalk
Warm beer on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Til our ARC expires
And in the expat nightclub
They gathered for a sleaze
They pick up anything that moves
And shag in MTVs
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find a quick flight back to the place I was before
Relax said the nightman
We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave
