At the edge of Bremen township
Heartbreak Hotel, on the outskirt
long ago shut down and boarded...
sits heavily on patch of dirt

In its hey day, a jumpin' joint
sporting , dance floor piano Bar
cafe and comforts in Aces
noted by all to be five star.

Scandals hit hard, this Roadside Inn
so many sorrows in those walls
a place for secrets to gather
now paint peels as wallpaper falls.

Sue, and her swain caught with pants down
her husband burst into their room.
Caught in the act, the lovers cowered
the gun in Jim's hand spelled their doom.

There were tears in Jim's eyes, he cried
as he aimed and shot them both dead
his aim was truly on target,
her in the heart, him in the head

next Jim turned the gun on himself
cognoscenti of what he had done.
He took a stiff drink from his flask
shot to the brain, dropping the gun...

Jim, Sue and her secret lover
caught in a time loop to repeat
deadly event costing their lives
ever replay this night of heat!

There are many stories, gruesome
sordid events of lost humanity
about Heartbreak Hotel, 'tis true
the worst of lost sanity.

On a full moon, do not enter
you wish to live, stray not a toe
threshold of Death's agents live here
icy grasp, beginning of woe.

So many have taken the dare
to spend a ghastly frightful night
amongst pure evil as his Guest
heart strong enough to take this fright?
