Lyrics
Guest Room
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They're gonna send us to prison for jerks
for having vague ideas of the way to turn each other on again
They're gonna send us to prison for jerks
They'll find us here here here in the guest room
where we throw money at each other and cry, oh my
We miss being ruffians, going wild and bright
in the corners of front yards
getting in and out of cars
we miss being deviants
They'll find us here here here in the guest room
where we throw money at each other and cry, oh my
We can't stay here
we're starting to stay the same
We can't stay here
we can't stay this way
Just tie your woman to your wrist
give her room to tie the other
They'll find us here here here in the guest room
where we throw money at each other and cry, oh my
