The Room

Lyrics

[Verse 1] And in his eyes there was a room, like any other room There was a table, free of cups and trays Surrounded by six chairs of gold with silver cloth A list that hung against the giant wooden door And there were men he'd seen before None of them looked like their paintings That hung from the ceilings or walls [Chorus] And they were nude like their statues And their eyes never blinked And they shook their hands as he began to speak [Verse 2] And when he spoke there was a sound like nothing he had heard They were the voices of all he'd put to death He tried to tell them all the good things he had done Distorted words were locked somewhere behind his tongue They watched him sweat, wiping his head And then they threw up the slime that had started to climb And they rose [Chorus] And they were nude like their statues And their eyes never blinked And they shook their hands as he began to speak (Yeah) [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] And they were nude, oh yes And their eyes never blinked And they shook their hands as he began to speak (Oh)
