Drinking while sleeping
Strangers unknowingly
Keep me company
In the hotel bar
Looking out a window that isn't there
Looking at the carpet and the chairs
The only words I said today
Are "beer" and "thank you"
"Beer"
"Thank you"
"Beer"
"Thank you"
"Beer"
"Thank you"
Giving praise in a quiet way
Like a church
Like a church
Like a church that's far away
I've got limitations
Like Marvin Gaye
Mortal joy is that way
Outside a train sings its whale song
To a long long train
Long long gone
Then silence comes back alone
High as scaffolding
Until the wind finds something to ping
Or the pinging thing finds the wind
We're all looking for a body
Or a means
To make one sing
Strangers unknowingly
Keep me company
In the hotel bar
Looking out a window that isn't there
Looking at the carpet and the chairs
The only words I said today
Are "beer" and "thank you"
"Beer"
"Thank you"
"Beer"
"Thank you"
"Beer"
"Thank you"
Giving praise in a quiet way
Like a church
Like a church
Like a church that's far away
I've got limitations
Like Marvin Gaye
Mortal joy is that way
Outside a train sings its whale song
To a long long train
Long long gone
Then silence comes back alone
High as scaffolding
Until the wind finds something to ping
Or the pinging thing finds the wind
We're all looking for a body
Or a means
To make one sing
