paris nineteen fifty-six, number nine rue git le coeur[00:00:24]

word is out and everybody's beating on the door[00:00:29]

madame rachou will let you in, just smile and ring the bell[00:00:33]

welcome to nirvana at the beat hotel[00:00:39]

the sweet smell of pernod, a gauloise cigarette[00:00:49]

it's a cosmic congregation but you ain't seen nothing yet[00:00:53]

it's an open invitation, an existential clientele[00:00:58]

all looking for nirvana at the beat hotel[00:01:03]

they looked for it in new york city and san francisco bay[00:01:13]

they looked for in bebop jazz and it blew them all away[00:01:18]

they tried out every avenue and then said "what the hell,[00:01:23]

we'll look for it in paris at the beat hotel"[00:01:27]

burroughs came up from tangiers, ginsberg from new york[00:01:37]

kerouac came up from italy and slept out in the park[00:01:42]

gregory corso came and went and where he's at no one can tell[00:01:47]

he's still looking for nirvana at the beat hotel[00:01:51]

take me to your leader, take me to the man[00:02:01]

someone has got the answer, someone's got the perfect plan[00:02:06]

if you're looking in the alleys, if you're looking in the bars[00:02:11]

you'll find us in the gutter, looking at the stars[00:02:15]

this ragged band of poets, christians, buddhists, jews[00:02:30]

a new beat generation searching for the muse[00:02:35]

some found it in the arms of a mystic mademoiselle[00:02:39]

looking for nirvana at the beat hotel[00:02:44]

the rooms count up to forty-one, but you can sleep out in the hall[00:02:54]

for a few centimes you can get a drink and write your poems on the wall[00:02:58]

and the m*******a mixes with the tukish toilet smell[00:03:03]

it's all part of nirvana at the beat hotel[00:03:08]

alex campbell strums an old guitar someone picked up in spain[00:03:18]

ginsberg's howling poetry and kerouac's drunk again[00:03:23]

the rent is overdue there must be something they can sell[00:03:27]

maybe they can sell nirvana at the beat hotel[00:03:32]

someone's taking photographs, janine takes off her clothes[00:03:42]

marlene's meditating and concentrating on her toes[00:03:46]

jasmine hides in room sixteen and curls up in her shell[00:03:51]

she's communing with nirvana at the beat hotel[00:03:55]

take me to your leader, take me to the man[00:04:05]

someone has got the answer, someone's got the perfect plan[00:04:10]

if you're looking in the alleys, if you're looking in the bars[00:04:14]

you'll find us in the gutter, looking at the stars[00:04:19]

they did it for the journey and not for getting there[00:04:33]

fame is in a whisper when you pay the taxi fare[00:04:38]

it's just this side of heaven and a long, long way from hell[00:04:43]

it's somewhere in nirvana at the beat hotel[00:04:47]

nothing lasts forever, and forever's in a rhyme[00:04:57]

it's a buddha-like connection and everybody has their time[00:05:01]

if you want to drink the water you've got to dig into the well[00:05:06]

maybe then you'll find nirvana at the beat hotel[00:05:11]

it was over by nineteen sixty-three and everyone had gone[00:05:20]

but they'd opened up the road and the revolution was getting won[00:05:25]

when the poems were painted over and they rang the final bell[00:05:30]

it was goodbye to nirvana at the beat hotel[00:05:34]

the myth is stronger than the truth, and truth can sometimes lie[00:05:44]

to see it all for what it was you need an uncorrupted eye[00:05:48]

was the journey worth it, only time will tell[00:05:53]

still looking for nirvana, at the beat hotel[00:05:58]

take me to your leader, take me to the man[00:06:07]

someone has got the answer, someone's got the perfect plan[00:06:12]

if you're looking in the alleys, if you're looking in the bars[00:06:16]

you'll find us in the gutter, looking at the stars[00:06:21]

looking at the stars[00:06:30]

we'll looking at the stars[00:06:34]
