Van Morrison - The Back Room Lyrics
In the back room (in the back room)In the back room (in the back room)I waited for you (waited for you)Ya waited for me (waited for me)Rain came down, pitter-patSay, what you think, its raining outsideYou said, so whatYou turned the record player on, had a smokeStood up, walked across to the joint in a cloud of mistCouldnt resistA kitty stepped in the hall and she rapped the doorFound the key in the letter box, she turned the doorWalked into the room and said, whats goin on?I just got back from down the roadGotta couple a bottles of wine, somethin to turn you onWhat-a you think of that? (think of that, girl)(think of that girl)I said, sit down cat, pull up a seat, youre soakin wetTake off your coat and hat, wipe your feet on the matIn the back room (in the back room)In the back room (in the back room)I waited for you (waited for you)Ya waited for me (waited for me)I said, what time is it charlie, where did we go all day?Seem to get nowhere and do nothin but sit lookin at each otherHe said, I know, I been doin the same thing for weeksI look at the clock and all of a sudden Im hypnotizedIt speaks to me, it goes tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, ah-huh the kid he said, I dont know what you guys do but I been workinSo hard, lately that I can just only fall asleep in bedSo he played some more sounds and grooved a whileSomebody brought out some cherry wine, cherry wineAnd we talked about what was goin on in the music worldAnd other thingsHa-ha-ha, ha-haThe rain outside came down like it came never beforeDown, came down, it came, rain rain rainAnd I said, baby what time is it, what time is it, tell me what time is it?Ah, four-thirtySo I peeked round the corner, the blindAn there ya go, theres another girl thats comin home from schoolLookin so cool, just learned her as to zsAnd said,Hey man dont look funny, all the little girls comin home from schoolAnd theyre sittin, talkin and drinkin and all them other funny thingsA-ha-ha-haAnd charlie said to me, ya know what? I said, what?He said, man you gotta go out there and do somethin for yourselfFeel like you wanna make it or else you gonna be sittin round here like,NothinI said, youre right, I said youre so rightHe said, I know haI said, do ya?Said, you know youre cuttin records, cuttin records rightYou come through thatAn just through all the time youre gonna be out on the roadIm out on the backseat man, on the, on the highwayAnd the colors are gonna runAll of a sudden dont ya feel safe the next gig, you gotta make itI said, yeah I feel safeI said, yeah you know I cant stay here all the time as much as Id like toBut, I just learned about all day and all nightAnd dig sounds, and go down to the riverAnd once the artists go through the motionsGotta do my thing, aah-ah (in the back room) ah-ahGotta do my thing (in the back room)In the back room (in the back room)Fades-In the back room (in the back room)
