Lyrics

WHITE ROOM

lightly stepping out 
of your hospital gown
you took the record off the table
and flipped it around

to say to me
how you wanted to be

and if pleasing the crowd
only’s been bringing you down
take a long hard look
at how this reveille sounds 

and pray to be 
how you wanted to be seen

it’s a centerpiece
that’s kept us running around all over town
as we try to slow it all down…

he can take half your home
and your poor mama’s loan
but he can never take away
how you’re holding your own

it’s a fire escape
down to the car you could take 

and it’s never one and two
it was never me and you 
now there’s so much less to be 
and there’s so much more to do

you would die to be
how you wanted to be seen
 
stomped out since sundown
i prayed to California she was story bound

it’s a centerpiece
that’s kept you running around all over town
as you try to slow it all down…
