The Beige Hotel, Down by the Ice Factory

about

Written in Senegal during my time in West Africa. It's all true and based on the week or so I spent in St. Louis (Senegal), whilst traveling West Africa with my ex, not far from the border of Mauritania. Our time there was pretty much spent hanging out with American Peace Corp, drinking beer and avoiding the hot, hot sun. I got the title from an overheard conversation:

Peace Corp 1: So where is it? How do I get there?

Peace Corp 2: You take that road and turn left, it's passed the beige hotel, down by the ice factory.

lyrics

This room has no window so the ceiling fan blows symphony at me. But what we can't see we can hear but what we can't take the heat, so we sweat like animals. But the sweat flow cools us both we lie side by side thinking about where we are now.

And where we are not, you and I, is in the beige hotel down by the Ice factory. Here they serve alcohol, we get some money back if we return the bottles. But we don't go out as often as we did, we leave tomorrow, we leave tomorrow.

We can talk all night,
read all night,
talk and read all night,
or just sleep all night.

We can talk all night,
read all night,
talk and read all night,
or just sleep all night.
