Do you ever feel like you're living in a beat poet's nightmare   Like french kissing your despair   Suffocating in the open air?   If I was on the road Jack, when I got home   I would burn that car to the ground   Straight to the ground now   Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah now      If I was a sailor   And I walked upon your water   Would you know my burning tower   Would you save me with your locks of gold?   I wait for you in ruin   Captured at the window   Fading like a photograph   Fading like a nervous laugh   And I would love a room   I'd love a room   I'd love a room with a view   I'd love a room   I'd love a room   I'd love a room with a view      Do you ever feel like you're living in a time without a reason   A year without a season   Another day cut by the killing joke?   If I was on the outside   Looking at the inside   I would burn this place to the ground   Straight to the ground now   Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah now      If I was a lonely man   And I walked upon your growing land   Would you hear my calling hunger   Would you keep me from going under?   I wait for you beside myself   Captured at the window   Fading like a photograph   Crooked like a last laugh   And I would love a room   I'd love a room   I'd love a room with a view   I'd love a room   I'd love a room   I'd love a room with a view      Happy to be alive   So low it hurts to breathe in   Close to you, it's close to me   Close enough that it's something to believe in      Do you remember to turn out the lights   When the show is over   The show is over, and it gets easier   And after this, and after this   And after this   I would love a room   I'd love a room   I'd love a room with a view   I'd love a room   I'd love a room   I'd love a room with a view   I'd love a room   I'd love a room   I'd love a room with a view   I'd love a room   I'd love a room   I'd love a room with a view   If it's easier   If it's easier
