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