Hotel Amour Meow Meow + Thomas Lauderdale (Ft. Pink Martini)

I looked for Love in the beautiful cities
I looked for Love up in the air
I looked underground, though I knew that I shouldn't
And still, no Love was anywhere

I went to the place they call heaven
I went to a Hotel Amour
I sat still and wrote Love some letters
But Love doesn't read anymore

I sang Love into my stories
And I danced Love into my dreams
But Love didn't find me, let alone blind me
Love is nowhere, it seems

[Short Interlude]

I looked for Love, by pretending I wasn't
I looked for Love close to the [bone?]
I fixed up some wings, and I bought all the permits
So Love could take flight when it was grown

I followed the maps, I read all the signs
I bought Love a building called home
I filled in the forms, and I paid all the taxes
Still, Love left me, alone
