[Lyric] Visit Beautiful Coeur dAlene (Harrison Lemke)

Tourists amble on the boardwalk
Though it's forty-some degrees
What on earth could they be looking for
That they think they'll find it here
In evil times like these?

Long day at concierge/reception
Fiddling with the nameplate on your breast
The lobby's velvet denizens
Won't look you in the eye
Like you've failed some hidden test

Friends that you could visit
Back here for a week or maybe two
Lives full of untold wonders
Or they must be, you suppose;
Can't bring yourself to find out if it's true

Big band playing by the water
Wailing like the kingdom's gonna come
The mansions gleam like topaz
In the mountain's inky heights
Black sky humming and humming and humming like a big big drum
One look back at the resort hotel
Lighting up the night:
The windows shine like icons, full of hope and truth and life
But the labyrinth hallways smell like bleach
And the shower heads don't work right

Tourists amble on the boardwalk
Though it's thirty-some degrees
Like sheep without a shepherd
And the way is growing dark
God bless all such as these
