In a white desert temple, with new underwear
Warm smell of colitis, rising up through the air
Up ahead at the altar, I saw a disturbing fright
My heart grew heavy and my fight grew dim
I had to give up my right.
There he stood in the doorway;
I had to stand at the veil
And I was thinking to myself
'This could be heavenly father, or it could be Mel'
Then he threw up a code word and he showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel of Boredom
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely race.
Plenty of room at the Hotel of Boredom
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here
My clothes were toga-twisted, I got the Mormon friends
I got a lot of shitty, shitty old boys, that I call friends
How they drone in the chapel, sweet Mormon whit
Some drone to remember, some drone to forget
So I called up the Bishop,
'Please hear my whine'
He said, 'We haven't had the spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine'
And then dead voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say"
Welcome to the Hotel of Boredom
Such a lovely farce (such a lovely farce)
Such a lovely arse.
They’re giving up cash for their Hotel of Boredom
What a bunch of lies (what a bunch of lies), bring your rabbis
Minors at the sealing,
The pink gods seem nice
And I said, 'we are all just prisoners here, for a heavenly vice’
And with their patron’s worst fears,
They gather for a feat
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't change the meat
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
'Relax' said a temple worker,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'

Good point. Once endowed you can never leave Mormonism.

Mormonism isn't about meditations. They are all about assimilations.

Well, the Celestial Rooms do look like Hotel lobbies.

Thanks all of you. I wonder if anyone else has done something like this? It is an obvious song for being stuck in a "hotel" "forever" ala Mormon temples.

That’s good ! I didn’t even recognize it , until I got to the part “ Plenty of room” . The temple , especially the celestial room, reminds me of the movie “ The Shining”, since in the mirrors , it goes on forever and ever, and ever.
I can see the fonts overflowing with water, instead of blood.
Some temples like the one in SLC seem scary on the outside.
The DC one is neat though; you see it for miles before you get even near it, then it changes directions.
One minute, it looks like it’s on the right, then all of a sudden, it’s on the left side.

It is a Neogothic edifice designed to instill the authority and honors of a cathedral. Brigham had more delusions of grandeur than Joseph if that is possible.
