Room 421

an airport hotel

I know I should be sleeping

but it’s too soon to tell

if I’ll fly out tomorrow

if I’ll see her tomorrow

I hope that I will.

no place like alone

and no sound like my own voice

fading into

this quiet december night

but I’m doing alright

I ’ll make a phone call or two



Could I get some room service please?

send the maid in to see

about a few things I need



"Do you think you could

bring me my girlfriend

and a bottle of wine

bring me a future

just make sure it’s mine

will you open the window

but leave out the cold

could you make a phone call to Jesus

to clean up my soul"



Miles from my own bed

further from content

I guess I should get used to this

still rain on the runway

but I’m doing okay

I ’ve got cigarettes to kiss



"Could I get some room service please?

I ’m down on my knees

I ’m only here for tonight

‘cause they fucked up my flight

serenading the wall

and I thought I should call

you to ask for it all

for it all

for it all



Remember to



Bring me my girlfriend

and a bottle of wine

bring me a future

make sure it’s mine

will you open the window

but leave out the cold

could you make a phone call to jesus

to clean up my soul."



Dial seven for a savior

"is this soul keeping please...

could you put me through to jesus

I ’ll pay your long-distance fees"

he said "hello and god bless you.

there’s a bible in the drawer."

I said "that’s wonderful sir. but I don’t read it anymore"

I don’t read it any more...





Bring me my girlfriend

and a bottle of wine

bring me a future

make sure it’s mine

will you open the window

but leave out the cold

could you make a phone call to jesus

to clean up my soul"

bring me my girlfriend

and a bottle of wine

bring me a future

just make sure it’s mine

will you open the window

but leave out the cold

could you make a phone call to Jesus

to clean up my soul"

yeah

could you bring me my girlfriend

yeah

bring me a smile
