Jungle Room 04:24
Welcome to the Jungle Room If you want to see monsoon We can climb banana tree See the monkeys eat the leaves See the monkeys eat the leaves Watch them climb banana tree Watch the monkey eat the leaves If you want to make history Order our pancake special eat it in an hour thirty Get your picture on the wall Free swing on the vine we'll catch you if you fall Slapping on a bongo drum Come and see the setting sun Projected on a TV screen Makes it feel just like a dream Slapping on a bongo drum come and see the setting sun Projected on a TV screen Prepare yourself for exciting times The monsoon is coming pour out your drink and suck the lime Take your poncho off the wall Climb up into your hammock and let the raindrops fall.

I've been here going twenty five years and it all just looks the same Same old walls and same old halls as I float this astral plane Can't hold water and I can't hold dice and I can't hold up your hair People can't see as they pass through me so there is no one to scare But I've got something for you dear I'm a spectral volunteer So without a sound on your pillow down I'll put a mint there They freshen up your breath even after death I'm willing to share I'm willing to share Lay me down I've been here going twenty five years and they don't pay me a dime Sure ain't heaven and it sure ain't hell but it feels like doing time So to help me pass the days I help out in just one way

(Just pick up the phone)

Everybody has a thing That they do well What's my thing? I don't know Head in the sand Toes on the green Seeing the world and things inbetween I don't know Here in my dream I could eat a big ice cream Everybody has a thing That they do well What's my thing? I don't know Spinning around I kick the ball I hit a cloud It starts to fall and I know where I want to go Here in my dream I could swim a candy stream Here in my dream no one can bother me And when I wake I'll think of all the friends I'll make today

Growin' 03:23
I know the wind is blowin' And every day I’m growin’ And when the sun is glowin' Check out the shade I’m throwin’ My trunk is pretty twisted To this spot I’m committed People always come and go As I stand here in tableau I know the wind is blowin' As I just keep on growin' To this spot I’m committed At Greengate I’m enlisted. Growin’ an’ growin’ an’ growin' Growin’ an’ growin’ an’ growin'

We hope you've enjoyed your stay We hope you will return one day We still have your credit card information We won't refrain to add a charge if you took something Like our lamps We're serious. We've had problems in the past which is why we have trust issues Have you been to an appliance store recently? Lamps are expensive But I digress The coat check's got your coat (got your coat) The bell hop's got your bags (got your bags) The valet's pulling around Check out at the front desk This is our final curtain call

about

Welcome To The Greengate Hotel is a conceptual pop album about a hotel in the middle of nowhere that is occupied by the strangest grouping of people and things imaginable. Subject matter includes everything from tacky jungle themed restaurants and stolen lamps to paranormal volunteers and John (not dead) Carradine singing at his favorite karaoke bar. Check in and unpeel the velour seated, slightly antique store smelling, kaleidoscopic onion that is "Welcome To The Greengate Hotel."
