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