In the back In the room I for you Ya for me
Rain came down, Say, what you think, it's outside, you said, "So what" You the record player on, had a smoke, stood up Walked across to the joint in a of mist, couldn't resist
A kitty stepped in the hall and she rapped the Found the key in the letter box, she turned the Walked into the room and said, "What's on?"
"I just got back from down the road, I gotta couple a bottles of Somethin' to turn you on, you think of that?" I said, "Sit down cat, up a seat, you're soakin' wet Take off your coat and hat, wipe your on the mat"
In the room 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 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 what you guys do But I been workin' so hard lately I can only just fall asleep in bed"
So he played some more sounds and grooved a brought out some cherry wine, cherry wine And we talked about what was goin' on in the music And things
The rain outside came down like it came never Down, came down, it came, rain, rain, And I said, "Baby what time is it, what time is it, tell me time is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
So I peeked the corner, the blind An there ya go, there's another girl comin' home from school Lookin' so cool, learned her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, don't look All the little comin' home from school and they're sittin' Talkin' and drinkin' and all 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 'round here nothin' "
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 through that"
An' just through all the time, you're be out on the road I'm out on the backseat man, on the, on the And the colors are run
All of a sudden, don't ya feel the next gig, you gotta make it "I said, "Yeah I safe, I said, "Yeah, you know I can't stay here all the as much as I'd like to But, I just learned all day and all night"
"And dig sounds, and go to the river And the artists go through the motions do my thing, aah-ah, ah-ah gotta do my thing"
