In a Fancy Hotel

We're going to stay in a fancy hotel
Because we need a vacation
From our rented lives

We're going to jump
On high hotel beds
And fall asleep
Eight feet
Above the carpeted floor

We're going to order room service
And movies on the hotel tv

We're going to act like a wealthy family
In a penthouse suite

Because we're going to lose the house

We tried to keep it
But it didn't work out
So next week
We go to live
With Mom's Mom and Dad

And our home

Our home won't be our home
Anymore

But tonight we take
The last of our savings
Which was too small a sum
To rescue our residence

And we act like we're royalty
Sleeping on high beds
And heading to an exotic locale
On a jet tomorrow morning

Tonight we're people with money
People with worth
People who matter
People who never had to work hard
Or experience disappointment
Or let their kids down

Tonight we stay
In a fancy hotel

And tomorrow
We'll think about
Later
