Room With A View - Wall Of Voodoo

My Room with a view

Views a room with a view

That views my

Room with a view

I say

My Room with a view

Views a room with a view

That views my

Room with a view

You look three stories up

See a patch of blue

Look across the airshaft

And I look into

My Room with a view

Views a room with a view

That views my

Room with a view

Clap hands

His telephone rings

I take a nap

He leaves his place

Then I get back

He has a coughing fit

And I lose a shoe

He rubs his chest

And I read Camus

Has a friend

His name is Peter Deponce

Got a collect call from Peter once

Said the operator must have got

The name all screwed

Cause she just stood there saying who?

My Room with a view

Views a room with a view

That views my

Room with a view

I say

My Room with a view

Views a room with a view

That views my

Room with a view

You look three stories up

See a patch of blue

Look across the airshaft

And I look into

My Room with a view

Views a room with a view

That views my

Room with a view

Clap

He reads the funnies first

Just like me

I don’t go to church

And neither does he

I get drunk somtimes

Sing old show tunes

He talks in his sleep and says

Blah.blah.blah

He’s spraying roaches

I spray my hair

He whips his dog

When his girl ain’t there

Mine beats me up

And he calls the cops

Pulls the shades

Then I get popped in

My Room with a view

Views a room with a view

That views my

Room with a view

I said

My Room with a view

Views a room with a view

That views my

Room with a view

You look three stories up

See a patch of blue

Look across the airshaft

And look into

My Room with a view

Views a room with a view

That views my

Room with a view

Clap hands

Sold American

Clap hands

Clap hands

Sold American

Clap hands
