Well, tonight we sleep 
in a thousand star hotel 
Among the stars and where they fell 
through the turning sky 

Where the twilight creeps 
in slow motion carousel 
It's thousand star hotel 
where fire flies 

I know that you're scared that I'm gonna hurt you 
I know that you're thinking I'm a little too sad and wild 
Well, I don't pretend that I'm some paragon of virtue 
But neither are you child. I see it in your smile. 

Well it's not my fault God put you there when I was starving 
But maybe now you'll know what they mean when they say "saved." 
And there's lots of folks who don't die, but just stop living. 
And I've always had the feeling that both our paths were paved. 

And tonight we sleep 
in a thousand star hotel 
Among the stars and where they fell 
through the burning sky 

Where the twilight creeps
 in a slo-mo carousel 
It's a thousand star hotel 
where fire flies 

I'm done with imagining how brilliantly we'd burn 
It's my imagination that's kept me still this long. 
I want to see you gasp and rise and suddenly turn to me and whisper something--something scarily strong. 
Well you're a candle of a girl--
you light the world and consume yourself. 
I want to take your hand little girl and show you a [bad word] wealth. 

And tonight we sleep 
in a thousand star hotel 
among the stars and where they fell
through the churning sky 

and the lights do creep 
in slow motion carousel. 
It's our thousand star hotel, with fireflies.
