In the room In the back I for you Ya for me
Rain down, pitter-pat Say, what you think, it's outside, you said, "So what" You turned the player 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 the door Found the key in the box, she turned the door Walked into the room and said, "What's on?"
"I just got back from down the road, I couple a bottles of wine Somethin' to turn you on, what-a you of that?" I said, "Sit cat, pull up a seat, you're soakin' wet Take off your coat and hat, your feet on the mat"
In the room In the back I for you Ya for me
I said, "What time is it Charlie, 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 same for weeks"
I look at the 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 know what you guys do But I been workin' so hard lately that I can only just fall in bed"
So he played some more sounds and grooved a brought out some cherry wine, cherry wine And we talked what was goin' on in the music world And things
The rain outside down like it came never before Down, came down, it came, 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, another girl that's comin' home from school Lookin' so cool, learned her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, don't look All the little girls comin' home from school and sittin' and drinkin' and all them other funny things"
And Charlie said to me, "Ya what?", I said, "What?" He said, "Man, you gotta go out and do somethin' for yourself Feel like you wanna make it or 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, cuttin' records, cuttin' records right You through that"
An' just through all the time, you're be out on the road I'm out on the man, on the, on the highway And the colors are run
All of a sudden, don't ya feel safe the next gig, you gotta it "I said, "Yeah I feel safe, I said, "Yeah, you I can't here all the time as much as I'd like to But, I learned about all day and all night"
"And dig sounds, and go to the river And once the artists go through the do my thing, aah-ah, ah-ah gotta do my thing"
