E&P Song Lyrics (and Songs) by Sleepyhead & Friends

Empire Giant Zynga
(Hotel California)

In a dark desert province, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of common herbs, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My boards ran empty and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There Aife stood in the portal;
I heard the summons bell
And I was thinking to myself,
“This could be Heaven or this could be Hell”
Then she lit up her special and she showed me the way
There were heroes down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say…

Welcome to the Empire Giant Zynga
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of heroes at the Empire Giant Zynga
Any time of year, any time of year
You can find them here

Her mind is definitely twisted, she got a Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of shiny, fancy heroes that she calls friends
How they fight in the watchtower, stealing all my cups
Some raid for revenge, some raid to forget

So I called up the Captain,
“Please bring me my coins”
He said, “We haven’t had those tokens here since nineteen sixty nine”
And still those heroes are calling from far away,
Raid you right in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say…

Welcome to the Empire Giant Zynga
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the Empire Giant Zynga
What a nice surprise, what a nice surprise
When a five star arrives

Power creep in the foreground,
My gems frozen like ice
And she said “We are all just players here, of our own device”
And in the whales’ chambers,
They gathered for the feast
I stabbed them with my vanilla knives,
But I just can’t kill the beasts

Last thing I remember, I was
Running, trying to flee
I tried to find a passage back
To a place where heroes are free
“Relax,” said the night man,
“We are programmed to receive.
You can log out any time you like,
But you can never leave.”
