Lyrics:
Transcribed by Kevin hung
One night in never land
Checking out the Amsterdam scene
Got a room from some old guy
Outside the rocking machine
an old wedge of fun
In a dirty dusty room
On TV, hey it's Mr. T
Man, his jewelry shines
He's so cool and he pities the fools
Who waste them precious
when I'm not
Two big chairs sittin' side by side
With a Holy bible and a TV guide
TV guide, TV guide, great God o' mighty
It's a TV guide
I got
travelin' mentally
Makin' up tunes in hotel rooms
'Bout places I've never been to
Though I've never crooned under a Kentucky moon
I had my dream,
coming down
Somehow I can't seem to find
The quiet inside my mind
3:02
Space in this room
Has turned on me
And all my fears have me cornered me
the room just as cool as I can
Pull back the sheets and the bed is all empty
Except for a note left by some guy named Dan
My head got all light
It starts up in the morning when the kids are at school
Hubby's just forbidden by the home of his poo
She walks across the room and she turns
The longed-for train came to me going very slow
We sank together down in that room with Calexico
There’s no sound I can play
There’s no paint for that day
There’s
He rode in with the sunset and turned the TV on
We didn't talk through supper and I went to bed alone
I was softly awakened by a touch of ecstasy
a legend most
- Lying in bed cold and regal
What becomes a legend most
- Lying in bed watching a talk show on TV
What becomes a legend most
- Fifty days
want you
So I jumped out of my bed
And into the t.v. room
And in my anger
Threw the t.v. set out the window
Regretted instantly
Because this was a brand
by the new
Your embrace
It was all that I feared
That whirling room
We trade by vendu
Steely resolve is falling from me
My poor soul, poor
unstoppable set into motion
Nothing is different, but everything's changed
Found a room in the heart of the city, down by the bridge
Hot plate and TV
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
'Til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working
It's cloudy out in Pittsburgh
It's rainin' in Saigon
Snow's fallin' all across the Michigan line
Well she sits by the light of her Christmas tree
is what I tell myself as I stumble home
Derelict across the street in the garbage bin
Looks like he's found something neat judging by his grin
Such
is your TV
My laptop's got a bigger screen
Baby there ain't no doubt,
[Chorus]
Someone to kill the spiders
And by the way you're out of beer
leave you heart broken on the floor
(You gon' be in the emergency room)
I'm standin' by your bed
And so tempted to pull out your I.V
(You gon' be in
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
'Til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working
Grass Roots
I've been a brother to sorrow
I've been surrounded by gloom
'Cause this hotel's got hot & cold runnin'
Heartache in every room
a bowl
On your coffee table
Animals that sleep on your dining room floor
In your house
You are just waiting for time to pass by
One second at a time
This song it was written down
In a pea green windowless room
Four o'clock and the TV's dead
Wired up with nothin' to do
I drunk all my whiskey I
And a siren wailing on the other side of town
Oh the TVs on and the colors really hurt my head
If I could think straight I'd wish that I was dead
Or curled
travelin' mentally
Makin' up tunes in hotel rooms
'Bout places I've never been to
Though I've never crooned under a Kentucky moon
I had my dream,
