The Room

Verse: 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 Hook: And they were nude, like their statues And their eyes never blinked And they shook their hands as he began to speak Verse: And when he spoke there was a soung 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 the threw up the slime that had started to climb And they rose (Repeat Hook) Yeah! (Instrumental bridge) (Repeat Hook) (modified): And they were nude (Oh, yes!) And their eyes never blinked And they shook their hands as he began to speak
