Room 421
an airport hotel
I know I should be sleeping
but it’s too soon to tell
if I’ll fly out tomorrow
if I’ll see her tomorrow
I hope that I will.
no place like alone
and no sound like my own voice
fading into
this quiet december night
but I’m doing alright
I ’ll make a phone call or two
Could I get some room service please?
send the maid in to see
about a few things I need
"Do you think you could
bring me my girlfriend
and a bottle of wine
bring me a future
just make sure it’s mine
will you open the window
but leave out the cold
could you make a phone call to Jesus
to clean up my soul"
Miles from my own bed
further from content
I guess I should get used to this
still rain on the runway
but I’m doing okay
I ’ve got cigarettes to kiss
"Could I get some room service please?
I ’m down on my knees
I ’m only here for tonight
‘cause they fucked up my flight
serenading the wall
and I thought I should call
you to ask for it all
for it all
for it all
Remember to
Bring me my girlfriend
and a bottle of wine
bring me a future
make sure it’s mine
will you open the window
but leave out the cold
could you make a phone call to jesus
to clean up my soul."
Dial seven for a savior
"is this soul keeping please...
could you put me through to jesus
I ’ll pay your long-distance fees"
he said "hello and god bless you.
there’s a bible in the drawer."
I said "that’s wonderful sir. but I don’t read it anymore"
I don’t read it any more...
Bring me my girlfriend
and a bottle of wine
bring me a future
make sure it’s mine
will you open the window
but leave out the cold
could you make a phone call to jesus
to clean up my soul"
