Window Sash Weights歌詞

[00:15.26]Two am the birds are chirping outside
[00:18.13]
[00:19.01]And they're keeping me awake
[00:20.09]
[00:21.54]Outside in the backseat of my girlfriend's car
[00:24.38]Some old rusty window sash weights
[00:26.48]
[00:29.07]Left over from the renovation down below
[00:31.40]The old Chinese lady recently died
[00:33.88]
[00:35.70]She's been living in the unit underneath me for 21 years
[00:38.88]And has been there since 1975
[00:41.44]
[00:42.89]Gonna take the sash weights to my old house
[00:44.94]And put them in a circle in the backyard
[00:47.09]
[00:48.86]This winter I'm gonna plant an Italian pine in the center
[00:51.52]And let it take root while the rain pours down on it hard
[00:54.31]
[00:57.55]This week gonna fly to New York
[00:59.34]And play Sarah Lawrence college
[01:01.48]
[01:03.83]And dust my nylon-string guitar off
[01:06.43]And play a various selection of songs on it
[01:08.83]
[01:11.58]And something I say will likely be viewed as offensive
[01:14.23]And cause a student to be alarmed
[01:16.03]
[01:18.60]Or if a college girl is nice to me and I speak to her
[01:21.41]It might be misconstrued and I won't be pardoned
[01:24.66]
[01:25.69]Will a nearby voyeuristic blogger read purposefully too deeply into it
[01:30.46]
[01:32.64]Go home report it on cyber and tug on his dick and wait for hits
[01:36.88]
[01:40.10]Oh sweet tonight is quiet
[01:41.93]And the birds outside sing sing sing sing sing sing
[01:45.28]
[01:46.52]And I'm still high from last night I played with my old friend David J
[01:50.17]And some nice girls accompanied us on strings
[01:53.19]
[01:53.75]And afterwards we rushed off to see Garland Jeffreys
[01:57.00]
[02:00.42]He sang New york skyline
[02:02.50]It was one of the most beautiful things that I had ever seen
[02:05.37]
[02:07.65]And after that gonna record with Nate and Steve in Hoboken
[02:10.98]
[02:14.28]Nate called me yesterday his wife is pregnant I told him Man congratulations
[02:18.51]
[02:21.66]Oh how things change
[02:23.34]And that's an interesting part of getting up there in age
[02:26.06]
[02:28.85]Seeing how we all grow older and how our lives
[02:31.63]And the colors around us change
[02:33.88]
[02:42.82]When I get back
[02:43.80]I'm gonna take a trip with my girlfriend down to LA
[02:46.52]
[02:49.11]Gonna stay at the cecil hotel for a night
[02:51.24]Where an alleged girl allegedly named Elisa Lam allegedly stayed
[02:55.57]
[02:56.69]It's been on my mind
[02:57.68]Since I think the story of her death was possibly staged
[03:01.13]
[03:02.38]She died at 21 years old in 2013
[03:05.98]The height of the internet age
[03:07.30]
[03:10.27]Yet only 2 known photos
[03:11.86]Plus the one on the elevator with the pixelated face
[03:14.99]
[03:16.49]Not one press conference about
[03:18.25]How a Canadian's dead body was found on that February day
[03:21.35]
[03:24.46]I once worked at a residential hotel
[03:26.69]With one fourth the amount of rooms as the cecil
[03:29.25]
[03:32.32]And the elevators and hallways were always active
[03:35.00]With hookers and pimps and drug addicts and SSI people
[03:37.89]
[03:39.32]And I'm telling you all
[03:40.25]That elevator footage of Elisa Lam looks totally rigged
[03:44.27]
[03:44.97]Six hundred rooms and no one walked down
[03:46.97]The hall and tried to get on that elevator with her
[03:49.32]Who in the f**k do you think you're kidding
[03:51.03]
[03:53.95]Well I'm gonna check in out
[03:55.33]I'm gonna ask for the room with the old tenant Richard Ramirez
[03:58.71]
[04:00.62]I don't spook easy and true crime is fascinating to me
[04:03.87]And that's my right as an American
[04:05.76]
[04:07.32]My girlfriend said she's totally not into it
[04:09.41]But she's happy to take me there and drive me home
[04:11.78]
[04:14.61]As long as in the morning we can visit her parents
[04:16.84]And I said great I liked the bed in the guest room
[04:19.51]It's nice and soft
[04:20.82]
[04:21.62]Now let's cut some vague rock lyrics
[04:23.80]Please please please please please
[04:25.45]Please please please please please please
[04:27.50]
[04:28.72]La di da di la di da di la di da di la di la di la di la di dii

[04:37.44]I love you all I love you all
[04:39.15]I love you all I love you all
[04:41.24]
[04:42.57]I love you too ghost girl in the elevator
[04:45.59]Hearing voices in the hall
[04:47.15]
[04:49.62]Bon Jovi's seen a million faces
[04:51.43]And he's rocked them all
[04:53.33]
[04:55.59]Those are his words but I omitted one
[04:57.54]And the other two I installed
[05:00.00]
[05:03.65]You're not quite a million faces
[05:05.50]But I love you all I love you all
[05:07.16]I love you all I love you all
