Backroom

歌詞

Some of my old friends say I'm self possessed I hope you don't mind if I get something off my chest Between you and me I only go out at night Sunlight in my eyes just makes me uptight In the backroom we be drinking all night We be living in a vacuum We be looking for a fight In the backroom we be drinking all night We be running out of headroom We be looking for a fight Crowd was thinning out And he came through the door I look right at him He looks at the floor Awkward glances catch the thread long ago I'm seeing red Does your sister dress you up Does the devil know you're dead I don't know if Gabriel keeps a place for me I still want to go to heaven & see what I can see I don't want to have St Peter close the gate on me I still want to get to heaven & be what I can be We had moved to the place I heard them say 'Last Call' I stepped over all of them And walked on down the hall The man says not to wait for judgment It comes everyday Absolution at a price And we all have to pay In the backroom we be drinking all night We be living in a vacuum We be looking for a fight In the backroom we be drinking all night We be running out of headroom We be looking for a fight I don't know if Gabriel keeps a place for me I still want to go to heaven & see what I can see I don't want to have St Peter close the gate on me I still want to get to heaven & be what I can be Shoo sha doo Shoo sha doo Shoo sha doo Shoo sha doo Shoo sha doo Shoo sha doo Shoo sha doo Shoo (We be drinking all night) In the backroom we be drinking all night We be living in a vacuum We be looking for a fight In the backroom we be drinking all night We be running out of headroom We be looking for a fight
