The Room Got Heavy
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.
the room got heavy
with a lamppost looming
we were driving in a circle
somewhere near the station
shoot me in the bushes
my eyes aren't focused
??
parsing through the tunnel
??
summer after dark
??
to a party invitation
and the room got heavy
but only for a minute
the barroom was wearing thin
ohh
the room got heavy
all the concrete in the air
had to park around the corner
at the yellow light blinking
she said "i wouldn't do that"
but we all know that she did
from the look on her face
her arms slightly folded
and he headed for the door
reach across the floor
hands in my pocket
my eyes aren't focused
and the room got heavy
but only for a minute
while we were waiting for you
ohh
ohh
