"Kitchen - Hallway" lyrics - MICHAEL TRENT
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 turned lovers and then just become good friends
I've caught up with some old loved ones
And then I just lost touch again
"Hey how you 'been?"
"I've been travelin'. Rock and rollin'. How you been?"
"I - I've 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 Suzy'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
And if you haven't seen her moves, you'll see 'em soon
Oh but I don't mess with her much anyhow
Because girls like that were born to build you up and then bring you down
And besides all of these old worries just don't bother me much now
'Cause I've got new ones
Tried and true ones
Bills past due ones
Interest accrue ones
Hole in my shoe ones
Well all this something down the highway
All these wasted afternoons
Got us askin' lotta questions
Hope to get an answer soon
'Cause if you try to sing too hard
You just start singin' out of tune
And that's what I do
That's what I do
So now it's grass, cocaine, alcohol and pills
Yeah they might either drag you down or else help supplement your bills
It just depends what you need worse
Be it the money or the thrills
Well
I could use both
Both
'Cause it's been taxi then airport, bus and train
These days I can't tell much between 'em, they all start to feel the same
I just close my eyes and rest my head right up against the window pane
Like a picture frame
Like a self-portrait
So radio my folks
I think we're comin' in on fumes
And all this heavy cargo
Has just capsized off [?]
Just tell the kitchen
Tell the hallway
Tell all the other rooms
I'll see you soon
I'll see you soon
I'll see you soon
I'll see you soon
