Welcome....... To the....... Karma......... Hoooooooo.......... Welcome....... To the....... Karma......... Hoooooooo.......... First Verse (Macristo): Karma Hotel lobby, and I'm lookin' for enlightenment Concierge, where can I go to find adventure and excitement? Played of all the casinos, bars, and orgies, they bore me Here's another twenty, now what you got for me? He stared at me hard, finally dipped in his drawer Flipped the elevator keys and said "Go to the threetenth floor" So in a flash I was there, cold knock on the door Bombarded by cigar smoke, the smell of Hell and War And when the fog cleared, the scene was like an eerie nightmare "Come in, we've been waitin' on you for years" "You wanted adventure, now you got it boy, don't show me no tears," "This is the place where you face your desires and fears," In each of his hands was a revolver, forty-five in the left Twenty-two in his right Russian roulette's the game tonight And there's NO escape, so don't try to run But I'll fill your life with bliss if you're alive once the death wheel has spun "Choose your gun" Gimme the forty-five, I said with a smile "Here's a shiny silver bullet, might as well go out in style" Put one in the cylinder, spun it, aimed at my dome and slowly clicked it Now I feel the adreneline rush that's got me so addicted Motivatin' me to play, a second time, then a third time Fourth time I clicked and popped BOOM! Money shot Next morning, cops found me, needle stickin' out my arm Peep the drama, another sad story at the Karma Chorus (Ming Xia): Welcome to the Karma Hotel Looks like Heaven but could be Hell Where pleasant screams transform to yells And every speak casts its own spell (2x) Second Verse (Macristo): Keep the gamblin' scene Gettin' dough as he rambled the fiends Exotic queens dancin' with tamborines And the Gambler's theme One eye open, one eye scopin' Watchin' his gat, watchin' his back Watchin' his stack, watchin' his wrap Watchin' his deck, as people notice like "OH SHIT! Boy just won a hundred grand!" "Where? Where?" "Oh my God, at Table Seven, did you see him yet?" Look at his chips, all that green growin' like Chia Pets Two out the handle and he can't stop The more and more the fans flock, the more the dice out his hands drop Walk in the room, he's bettin' and makin' money and every table Women are sweatin' him like he was James Bond or Joe Davids Yeah, he's satisfied, he's in his element now To do this for the rest of his life is how it's goin' down So it seems like, he got his whole shit set But his son is gangbangin' in the park, holdin' a rain check Meanwhile, somehow, somethin' is kinda eerie About this place that he seems to be payin' a permanent visit to Every face he sees, expressionless, like a mannequin He really wants to leave, but stays cool, to avoid panickin' He's gettin' the same attention, but somethin' seems sorta different He's wrinklin' up, losin' weight, and his body's startin' to stiffen Now he notices years have passed in one night He made more cash than we could imagine, but never lived life Chorus Third Verse (Ming Xia & Macristo): (Ming Xia) Since we're all trapped in, peace guys, see you later I'ma go to that red door near the elevator Triple nines thorn nails hangin' off the door Excuse me sir, I didn't notice you before (Mephisto) Pleased to meet you, Mephisto's the name Pretty young thing Come into my room, I'd like to play a game, it's called "Doom" Beat the friends and family Gotta give yourself to me By the way, what's your name? (Ming Xia) Eve (Mephisto) Check the scenery (Ming Xia) Looks so happy, at the same time The way they're entwined seems so good it's a crime (Macristo) Believe in me as I believe in you, live it up tonight (Ming Xia) Well fuck it I feel I've got all of my life! (Mephisto) So true, pleasure and pain, transform lust to thrust One night stands of hot sex, the bottle entrusts (Ming Xia) Oooh, invitation accepted, too good to reject it So I join in unprotected (Mephisto) Expected, one life to live, don't respect it (Ming Xia) Respect what? (Mephisto) Ooh, you poor child you've been neglected (Ming Xia) Mephisto why do I feel so cold? It's like each time I climax you take a piece of my soul (Mephisto) You could never leave, you made a pact with the Devil himself Infected in my family of trust, my daughter of lust (Ming Xia) So what you're tellin' me is I can't leave! And I'm trapped here for eternity! Oooooohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Chorus
