Did you ever feel like you're living in a beat poet's nightmare
Like a french kiss your despair
Suffocating in the open air?
If i was on the road jack, when i got home
I would burn that car to the ground
Straight to the ground now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now, if I was a sailor
And I walked upon your water
Would you know my burning tower
Or would you save me with your locks of gold?
I wait for you in ruin
Captured at the window
Faded like a photograph
Faded like a nervous laugh
I'd love a room
I'd love a room
With a view
Do you ever feel like you're living in a time without a reason
A year without a season
Another day cut by the killing joke?
If I was on the outside
Looking at the inside
I would burn this place to the ground
Straight to the ground now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And if I was a lonely man
And I walked upon your growing land
Would you hear my calling hunger
Would you keep me from going under?
I wait for you beside myself
Captured at the window
Faded like a photograph
Crooked like a last laugh
AndIi would love a room
I'd love a room
I'd love a room with a view
Happy, to be alive, so low
It hurts to breathe in
Close to you, it's close to me
It's close enough
That it's something to believe in
Do you remember?
I turn out the lights when the show's over
The shows over, and it gets easier
And after this, and after this
And after this
I would love a room
I'd love a room
I'd love a room with a view
