In the back room (in the back room). In the back room (in the back room). I waited for you (waited for you). Ya waited for me (waited for me). Rain came down pitter-pat. Say what you think it's raining outside. You said "So what". You turned the record player on had a smoke. Stood up walked across to the joint in a cloud of mist. Couldn't resist. A kitty stepped in the hall and she rapped the door. Found the key in the letter box she turned the door. Walked into the room and said "What's goin' on?". I just got back from down the road. Gotta couple a bottles of wine somethin' to turn you on. What-a you think of that? (think of that girl). (Think of that girl). I said "Sit down cat pull up a seat you're soakin' wet". "Take off your coat and hat wipe your feet on the mat". In the back room (in the back room). In the back room (in the back room). I waited for you (waited for you). Ya waited for me (waited for me). I said "What time is it Charlie where did we go all day?". Seem to get nowhere and do nothin' but sit lookin' at each other. He said "I know I been doin' the same thing for weeks". I look at the clock and all of a sudden I'm hypnotized. It speaks to me it goes "tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock" ah-huh The kid he said "I don't know what you guys do but I been workin'. so hard lately that I can just only fall asleep in bed". So he played some more sounds and grooved a while. Somebody brought out some cherry wine cherry wine. And we talked about what was goin' on in the music world. And other things. Ha-ha-ha ha-ha. The rain outside came down like it came never before. Down came down it came rain rain rain. And I said "Baby what time is it what time is it tell me what time is it?. "Ah four-thirty". So I peeked 'round the corner the blind. An' there ya go there's another girl that's comin' home from school. Lookin' so cool just learned her A's to Z's. And said. "Hey man don't look funny all the little girls comin' home from school. And they're sittin' talkin' and drinkin' and all them other funny things. A-ha-ha-ha. And Charlie said to me "Ya know what?" I said "What?". He said "Man you gotta go out there and do somethin' for yourself". "Feel like you wanna make it or else you gonna be sittin' 'round here like. nothin' ". I said "You're right I said "You're so right". He said "I know" ha. I said "Do ya?". Said "You know you're cuttin' records cuttin' records right. You come through that". An' just through all the time you're gonna be out on the road. I'm out on the backseat man on the on the highway. And the colors are gonna run. All of a sudden don't ya feel safe the next gig you gotta make it. "I said "Yeah I feel safe. I said "Yeah you know I can't stay here all the time as much as I'd like to. But I just learned about all day and all night. And dig sounds and go down to the river. And once the artists go through the motions. Gotta do my thing aah-ah (in the back room) ah-ah. Gotta do my thing (in the back room). In the back room (in the back room). FADES-. In the back room (in the back room).
