In the back room (in the back room)

I waited for you (waited for you)
4
Ya waited for me (waited for me)
5
Rain came down, pitter-pat
6
Say, what you think, it's raining outside
7
You said, So what
8
You turned the record player on, had a smoke
9
Stood up, walked across to the joint in a cloud of mist
10
Couldn't resist
11
A kitty stepped in the hall and she rapped the door
12
Found the key in the letter box, she turned the door
13
Walked into the room and said, What's goin' on?
14
I just got back from down the road
15
Gotta couple a bottles of wine, somethin' to turn you on
16
What-a you think of that? (think of that, girl)
17
(Think of that girl)

I said, Sit down cat, pull up a seat, you're soakin' wet

Take off your coat and hat, wipe your feet on the mat

I said, What time is it Charlie, where did we go all day?
25
Seem to get nowhere and do nothin' but sit lookin' at each other
26
He said, I know, I been doin' the same thing for weeks
27
I look at the clock and all of a sudden I'm hypnotized
28
It speaks to me, it goes tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, ah-huh The kid he said, I don't know what you guys do but I been workin'
29
so hard, lately that I can just only fall asleep in bed
30
So he played some more sounds and grooved a while
31
Somebody brought out some cherry wine, cherry wine
32
And we talked about what was goin' on in the music world
33
And other things
34
Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha

[Back Room lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]
36
The rain outside came down like it came never before
37
Down, came down, it came, rain rain rain
38
And I said, Baby what time is it, what time is it, tell me what time is it?
39
Ah, four-thirty
40
So I peeked 'round the corner, the blind
41
An' there ya go, there's another girl that's comin' home from school
42
Lookin' so cool, just learned her A's to Z's
43
And said,
44
Hey man don't look funny, all the little girls comin' home from school
45
And they're sittin', talkin' and drinkin' and all them other funny things
46
A-ha-ha-ha
47
And Charlie said to me, Ya know what? I said, What?
48
He said, Man you gotta go out there and do somethin' for yourself
49
Feel like you wanna make it or else you gonna be sittin' 'round here like,
50
nothin'
51
I said, You're right, I said You're so right
52
He said, I know ha
53
I said, Do ya?
54
Said, You know you're cuttin' records, cuttin' records right
55
You come through that
56
An' just through all the time you're gonna be out on the road
57
I'm out on the backseat man, on the, on the highway
58
And the colors are gonna run
59
All of a sudden don't ya feel safe the next gig, you gotta make it
60
I said, Yeah I feel safe
61
I said, Yeah you know I can't stay here all the time as much as I'd like to
62
But, I just learned about all day and all night
63
And dig sounds, and go down to the river
64
And once the artists go through the motions
65
Gotta do my thing, aah-ah (in the back room) ah-ah
66
Gotta do my thing (in the back room)
67
In the back room (in the back room)
68
FADES-
69
In the back room (in the back room)
