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 player on, had a smoke, up Walked to the joint in a cloud of mist, couldn't resist
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 from down the road, I gotta a bottles of wine Somethin' to turn you on, 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, did we go all day? You to get nowhere and do nothin' but sit lookin' at each other" He said, "I know, I been the same thing for weeks"
I look at the 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 been workin' so hard lately that I can only just fall in bed"
So he played some sounds and grooved a while Somebody out some cherry wine, cherry wine And we talked about what was goin' on in the world And things
The rain outside came down like it never before Down, down, it came, rain, rain, rain And I said, "Baby what time is it, what time is it, tell me what is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
So I 'round the corner, the blind 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 look All the girls comin' home from school and they're 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 there and do somethin' for like 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 cuttin' records, cuttin' right You through that"
An' just through all the time, gonna be out on the road I'm out on the man, on the, on the highway And the are gonna 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 all the time 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 Gotta do my thing, aah-ah, ah-ah do my thing"
