The Room Got Heavy

The room got heavy with a lamppost looming

We were driving in a circle somewhere near the station

Shoot me near the bushes, my eyes aren't focused

And we passed one parsing through the tunnel

Palisades Park, summer after dark

Hand holding fast to a party invitation

And the room got heavy but only for a minute

While everyone was waiting for you

The room got heavy, all the concrete in the air

And the couple around the corner at the yellow light blinking

She said "I wouldn't do that" but we all know that she did

From the look on her face, her arms slightly folded

And he headed for the door, reach across the floor

Hands in my pocket, my eyes aren't focused

And the room got heavy but only for a minute

While everyone waited for you
