The Room Got Heavy

(album: I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass - 2006)

The room got heavy with a lamppost looming
We were driving in a circle somewhere near the station
Shoot me near the bushes, my eyes aren't focused
And we passed one parsing through the tunnel

Palisades Park, summer after dark
Hand holding fast to a party invitation
And the room got heavy but only for a minute
While everyone was waiting for you

The room got heavy, all the concrete in the air
And the couple 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 everyone waited for you
