Get A Room

Jim O'Rourke


It's always me in the only seat 
That has a canopy 
There to screw up the best laid plans 
Of those with company 

I'd like nothing more to do 
Than to watch the desperation on your face 
I might send you straght to hell 
Like it's worse to end up in this place 

If I gave you, one night to live 
Would you know who to choose to take home 
And if she falls asleep before the night is through 
Because she has to go to work 
And you don't 

And the night's getting longer 
And your skin's getting colder 
And you won't get much older 

And you try to move towards her 
But you can't move your shoulder 
And you're sight's getting dimmer 
Maybe if you kick her 
But your leg's getting weaker 
And she's such a deep sleeper 
And you would get a snorer 
To share your last hour 
You sure picked a winner 
And time's seeming slower 
And now you can't see her 
All you see is a timer 
Moving backwards and forwards 
And the night's getting longer 
And your skin's getting colder
