"Kitchen - Hallway" Lyrics

Well I've been stuck inside this house too long
Well my parents used to catch me sneakin out when I was young
From the kitchen to the hallway where I used to sing my songs
when they were gone

But now I've seen so many things since then
I've seen enemies turn to lovers and then just become good friends
I've caught up with some old loved ones
and then I've just lost touch again
Hey how you been?
I been travelin, rock and rollin
how you been?
I been workin, havin children

Well all this chasin after sunsets, all this shootin at the moon
Got us drinkin from the gutter pickin food out of the broom
Well it ain't hard to second guess yourself
when you're dressin up a wound
ain't that the truth
that's the truth

Well Suzie's dressed up in her go-out shoes
She takes a walk down by the water every time there's a full moon
She's broken every heart in town
if you haven't seen her moves you'll see em soon, yep
Oh but I don't mess with her much anyhow
Yeah, cuz girls like that were born to build you up and bring you down
And besides, all of those old worries just don't bother me much now
Cuz I got new ones
tried and true ones
bills past due ones
interest accrue ones
Hole in my shoe ones

Well all this schluppin down the highway, all these wasted afternoons
Got us askin lotta questions, hope to get an answer soon
Do you try to sing to hard? just try singin out of tune, that's what I do
That's what I do

So now there's grass, cocaine, alcohol, and pills
Yeah they might even drag you under or help supplement your bills
It just depends what you need worse, be it the money or the thrills
Well, I could use both

Cuz it's been taxi fair, port, bus, and trains
These days I can't tell much between them
they all start to feel the same
Just close my eyes and rest my head right up agains the window pane
Like a picture frame
Like a self portrait
So RADIO my folks
I think we're comin in on fumes
All this heavy cargo has just capsized _____
just tell the kitchen, tell the hallway, tell all the other rooms
I see ya soon
They'll see ya soon
I'll see ya soon
I'll see ya soon

(Stop..... TOWNES stop)
