Dusty Rooms - Barenaked Ladies

I spend too much time

In these dirty, dusty rooms

Places with the flickering signs

And the dirty, dusty rooms

Is it unfair to want fresh air

Is it such a crime

The window is locked, the bed is wrapped

I feel like I’m doing time

Dial 9 for an outside line

In a dirty, dusty room

I found an old wedge of lime

In a dirty, dusty room

On the TV, hey it’s Mr. T

Man, his jewelry shines

He’s so cool, and he pities the fool

Who wastes his precious time

Wasting precious time

In a dirty, dusty room

There’s a loud and leaking fan

In a dirty, dusty room

And all of the rock and roll bands

In their dirty, dusty rooms

Hey there Jim

Where have you been

How do you make the time fly

Down at the gym

Stretching my limbs, like a tree by the riverside

Like a tree by the riverside, not a dirty, dusty room

Dial 8 for a really weird time

In a dirty, dusty room

I gave in, I went for a spin, and lo what did I find

A little tin full of tarantula skin

And a house full of butterflies

A house full of butterflies

Not a dirty, dusty room

Allons-y mes amis

We’re making it out alive

Allons-y mes amis

It’s checkout time

It’s time to say goodbye

To our dirty, dusty rooms

We all spend too much time

In these dirty, dusty rooms

I spend too much time in these dirty, dusty rooms
