In the room In the room I for you Ya for me
came down, pitter-pat Say, what you think, raining outside, you said, "So what" You turned the record player on, had a smoke, up Walked to the joint in a cloud of mist, couldn't resist
A kitty in the hall and she rapped the door the key in the letter box, she turned the door Walked into the room and said, "What's on?"
"I just got back from down the road, I gotta a bottles of wine Somethin' to turn you on, what-a you of that?" I said, "Sit cat, pull up a seat, you're soakin' wet Take off your and hat, wipe your feet on the mat"
In the back In the room I for you Ya for me
I said, "What time is it Charlie, did we go all day? You seem to get nowhere and do but sit lookin' at each other" He said, "I know, I been doin' the same for weeks"
I look at the and all of a sudden I'm hypnotized It speaks to me, it goes, "Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock", The kid he said, "I don't know what you do But I been workin' so hard lately that I can just fall asleep in bed"
So he played some more sounds and grooved a Somebody out some cherry wine, cherry wine And we about what was goin' on in the music world And things
The outside came down like it came never before Down, came down, it came, rain, rain, And I said, "Baby what time is it, what is it, tell me what time is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
So I peeked 'round the corner, the An there ya go, there's another that's comin' home from school so cool, just learned her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, don't look All the little girls comin' from school and they're sittin' Talkin' and drinkin' and all other funny things"
And Charlie said to me, "Ya what?", I said, "What?" He said, "Man, you gotta go out there and do for yourself Feel like you make it or else you gonna be sittin' 'round here nothin' "
I said, "You're right, I said, "You're so right" He said, "I know", I said, "Do ya?" Said, "You know, you're cuttin' records, cuttin' right You through that"
An' just all the time, you're gonna be out on the road I'm out on the backseat man, on the, on the And the colors are run
All of a sudden, ya feel safe the next gig, you gotta make it "I said, "Yeah I feel safe, I said, "Yeah, you I stay here all the time as much as I'd like to But, I learned about all day and all night"
"And dig sounds, and go to the river And once the artists go the motions Gotta do my thing, aah-ah, ah-ah do my thing"
In the back In the back
