Do you ever feel like you're living in a beat poet's nightmare
Like you're 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
Now

If I was a sinner and I walked upon your water
Would you know my burning tower
or would you save me with your locks of gold
I wait for you in ruin
Captured at the window
Faded like a photograph
Faded like a nervous laugh

And I would love a room
I'd love a room
I'd love a room with a view

Did 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
Now

If I was a lonely man and I walked upon your growing land
Would you hear my call in hunger
Would you keep me from going under
I wait for you beside myself
captured at the window
Faded 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

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's over
The show's 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

It's easier
It's easier
