Hell's More or Less the Same

Well the room had gone quiet, all the cocaine was gone Just a few worn out extras hanging out on the lawn One reached in his pocket, he swore he had change There's a few new faces, but hell's more or less the same Passed out on the carpet, flea-bitten and stoned We all came here together just to sleep here alone Johnny awoke at the sound of the train It creeps past the window, and hell's more or less the same There's this frightened dog, yeah, he ran up the stairs Just to bark at someone that he knew wasn't there You know the cat ate the trash but the dog took the blame They're both dead now, and hell's more or less the same So the cops they came in, they wouldn't say for what So we all just assumed what the other had done Then the picture cried out, I swear I've been framed They left the nail in the wall, but hell's more or less the same There's this actress on the roof, to the chimney she's tied Auditioning for the role of Frankenstein's bride Lightning struck, her hair turned to gray She's still waiting for the callback, but hell's more or less the same Well I'd leave if I could but the back door is locked Now I wouldn't know what to do even if it's not I'll call you sometime when the dude finds the change We're under new ownership, but hell's more or less the same
