ApologetiX - Hotel Can't Afford Ya lyrics
[ApologetiX - Hotel Can't Afford Ya lyrics]
From a dark desert highway we
Pulled into the inn
Rome called for a census
I was from Bethlehem
Up above from a distance a
Star was giving me light
My wife was heavy cause her child was due
We had to stop for the night
So I stood in the doorway of Bethlehem hotel
And I was thinking to myself "I hope
To heaven they'll give me some help"
But they told us no-can do
And they sent me away
"There's a place around the corner though
Where you both can stay"
Welcome, but the hotel can't afford ya
Such a lovely place but we're out of space
Ran out of room and the hotel can't afford ya
It's the time of year with the census here
My wife was definitely gifted
That's what the Lord's angel said
She was about to have a
Baby boy while still virgin
Spent the night in the barnyard
Cheap slumlord's rent
Some night to remember, some night to forget
So because of what happened I
Was grieving for my wife
I said "They probably haven't cleaned
In here since BC 65"
Animal voices were calling for straw and hay
Keeping you up through the middle of the
Night just as if to say
Welcome, but the hotel can't afford ya
Such a lovely place, but we're out of space
Holiday rush and the hotel can't afford ya
What a nice surprise for your silent night
He was born that evening and
Shepherds came that night
And they said "We're all just visitors
Here of the Holy Christ"
And in an ass's manger
They found the boy asleep
They started getting teary eyed so they
Went back to their sheep
Last thing I remember there were
Wise men at the door
They had a bunch of packages from
The place they were before "We're late
" said the wise men "We
Had problems Christmas Eve
We've been checking out your shiny light
All through the Middle East"
Pulled into the inn
Rome called for a census
I was from Bethlehem
Up above from a distance a
Star was giving me light
My wife was heavy cause her child was due
We had to stop for the night
So I stood in the doorway of Bethlehem hotel
And I was thinking to myself "I hope
To heaven they'll give me some help"
But they told us no-can do
And they sent me away
"There's a place around the corner though
Where you both can stay"
Welcome, but the hotel can't afford ya
Such a lovely place but we're out of space
Ran out of room and the hotel can't afford ya
