lyrics

Before all was lost and we’d been double crossed
At the Hotel Jugoslavija you asked me to
Fight for the cause and do so at all costs
At the Hotel Jugoslavija I fell for you

But you bugged the room, poisoned your perfume,
Nothing left to chance so that the crisis could resume
While 100 flowers bloomed, crimson & maroon,
Just outside the Hotel Jugoslavija

Shredded & erased, redacted & disgraced,
At the Hotel Jugoslavija you cracked my code
You drugged my drink, told me what to think,
Balkanized my heart and left my conscience on the brink
Something you said, “we saw different shades of red”
Who’d you disappear in Jugoslavija?

(solo)

You redrew the maps as I watched it all collapse
From the ruins of the Hotel Jugoslavija
The dream was doomed, a wound upon a wound
Sometimes we get gray skies in Yugoslavia
Where 100 red balloons go boom boom boom boom
flying over Hotel Jugoslavija
