Modest Mouse - The Best Room Lyrics
Let loose with your charmsGo reckless, unharmedWe all signed the card:"Get well, but don't you try too hard"The lessons unlearnedOh, this meeting is adjournedOh, these Western concernsHold my place in line while I get your turnTo the empty balconies we serenadeAll the playgrounds where them kids don't get to playDirty parkies went and chased them all awayTo the game consoles to fattenThe best room they haveIs the last room you wantThe bathroom's outsidePolice tape is tiedTo the doorknobs of roomsNine through thirty-twoThese Western concernsWe beg while we chewThese Western concerns are all I ever really learned to be concerned withBut don't you, don't you know it's hardFeeling tired every time that you try?Ain't it hard feeling tired all the time?The family living upstairs must have a fleet of rider lawn mowersWhile the novelist to my right's convinced that every woman's a whoreBut he bothers me time and againTo set him up with my very best friends and I say, "What!"Says he doesn't restate but he will not shut up!Well don't you, don't you know it's hardFeeling tired every time that you try?Ain't it hard feeling tired all the time?Don't you, don't you knowI ain't goin' to bedRing my head in the woods right nowScan for some myceliumAnd bring a little back to townWell don't you, don't you know it's hard (I ain't goin' to bed)Feeling tired every time that you try? (Ring my head in the woods right now)Ain't it hard feeling tired all the time? (Scan for some mycelium)(And bring a little back to town)Go reckless, unharmedYep, the shut-ins, they're well armedWell, we all led the charge'Til we ran aground in our party bargeEvery little gift was just one more part of their griftOh, yeah, we know itOh, yeah, we know itThe best news that we gotWas some dumb hokum we'd all boughtOh, though reckless, feeling greatWe're the sexiest of all primatesLet loose with our charmsShake our ass and wave our armsAll going apeshit
