Our love is like the old Belmont Hotel
It was in ruins, now it's doin' quite well
The windows were busted, big holes in the walls
Madmen and wildlife was roamin' the halls
Now there's a swimmin' pool with two waterfalls
And it's better than brand new now

Our love is like the old Belmont Hotel
It was condemned by the town for a spell
Vagrants moved in and set fires in the rooms
Ceilings were charred and the air thick with fumes
Now there's a garden where bluebonnets bloom
And it's better than brand new now

So many times good buildings get torn down
Razed to the ground
Because work is hard to do
Oh and if you try
If you don't let a living thing die
It might wind up
Better than brand new

Our love is like the old Belmont Hotel
Restored to the grace from which it fell
We almost gave up but we both stayed right here
The hope we held on to was stronger than fear
Now all I can say is I love you my dear
And we're better than brand new now
And we're better than brand new now
