In the room In the room I for you Ya for me
Rain down, pitter-pat Say, you think, it's raining outside, you said, "So what" You turned the record on, had a smoke, stood up Walked to the joint in a cloud of mist, couldn't resist
A kitty stepped in the hall and she rapped the Found the key in the box, she turned the door Walked into the and said, "What's goin' on?"
"I just got back from the road, I gotta couple a bottles of wine Somethin' to you on, what-a you think of that?" I said, "Sit down cat, pull up a seat, soakin' wet Take off your coat and hat, your feet on the mat"
In the back In the back I for you Ya for me
I said, "What time is it Charlie, where did we go all You to get nowhere and do nothin' but sit lookin' at each other" He said, "I know, I doin' the same thing for weeks"
I at the clock 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 what you guys do But I workin' so hard lately that I can only just fall asleep in bed"
So he played some sounds and grooved a while Somebody brought out some cherry wine, cherry And we talked about what was goin' on in the world And other
The rain outside came like it came never before Down, down, it came, rain, 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 Lookin' so cool, learned her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, don't funny All the little girls comin' home school and they're sittin' Talkin' and and all them other funny things"
And Charlie said to me, "Ya what?", I said, "What?" He said, "Man, you gotta go out there and do somethin' for Feel like you wanna make it or else you gonna be sittin' 'round 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 cuttin' records, records right You through that"
An' just through all the time, 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 the next gig, you gotta make it "I said, "Yeah I feel safe, I said, "Yeah, you I can't stay here all the time as much as I'd to But, I learned about all day and all night"
"And dig sounds, and go down to the And once the go through the motions Gotta do my thing, aah-ah, gotta do my thing"
