Rilo Kiley Room 8 Lyrics

Room 8 Lyrics

room 8 the invite says

come and surpise you're oldest friend

the door's ajar, what's behind

in room 8, room 8, room 8 



cards are found in boxes there 

welcome me in to the earthly air 

a baby girl named Jennifer 

born here, born here, in room 8 



lock the car 

tremble and shake 

baby the call was just a fake 

but there she is spotted through rain 

jennifer she calls your name 



on the bed, hip displaced 

broken nose and a toothless face 

but she's alive, she's awake 

in room 8, room 8, room 8 



and she whispers, 

we're still working full-time for love underpaid, overworked, uninsured 

we'll work gladly with our hands, we'll take off our gloves 

'til it's only love - 'til love remains 

in room 8, room 8, room 8 



I've never felt this pain before 

doubled over the motel floor 

the ambulance it pulls away 

with only tears as my alibi 



but i'm still workin' full-time for love 9 to 5, weekends, and holidays 

don't lay me off with severence pay 

work me 'til I'm enslaved 

by your elusive ways, invisible of 

in room 8, room 8, room 8
