Room 229 Lyrics

Room 229 lyrics

Well, the distance makes you pretty

And now you're cracked and gray

And your legs they move like scissors

Open up the wound each time you give yourself away



And I'm sorry for the damage

Let me lay down by your side

And let me come down almost human, yeah

For awhile, for awhile, just for awhile

Just for awhile



So dance for me, Virginia

Let the leather kiss your pale white skin

I'd, I'd say I love you, baby

But I'd rather, rather, rather keep it straight and clean



And I'm sorry for the damage

And let me lay down by your side

And let me come down almost human, yeah

For awhile, for awhile, just for awhile



You're torn and frayed, you're bleeding rose

But you fall each time the wind begins to howl

And on your knees these twisted prayers

They fill your mouth but leave you bare



It doesn't mean much

To a girl who's on her own

Hey



And I'm sorry for the damage

Let me lay down by your side

And let me come down almost human, yeah

For awhile, for awhile, for awhile, for awhile

Just for awhile



Just for awhile

Hey, just for awhile

Hey baby, hey baby

Hey, hey, hey
