In the back In the back I for you Ya for me
Rain down, pitter-pat Say, what you think, it's outside, you said, "So what" You the record player on, had a smoke, stood up across to the joint in a cloud of mist, couldn't resist
A kitty stepped in the hall and she rapped the the key in the letter box, she turned the door Walked the room and said, "What's goin' on?"
"I just got back from down the road, I gotta a bottles of wine Somethin' to you on, what-a you think of that?" I said, "Sit cat, pull up a seat, you're soakin' wet off your coat and hat, wipe your feet on the mat"
In the room In the room I for you Ya for me
I said, "What is it Charlie, where did we go all day? You to get nowhere and do nothin' but sit lookin' at each other" He said, "I know, I been the same thing for weeks"
I look at the clock and all of a I'm hypnotized It to me, it goes, "Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock", ah-huh The kid he said, "I know what you guys do But I been workin' so hard lately I can only just fall asleep in bed"
So he played more sounds and grooved a while Somebody brought out some cherry wine, cherry And we talked about what was goin' on in the music And other
The rain outside came down like it came never Down, down, it came, rain, rain, rain And I said, "Baby what time is it, what time is it, tell me time is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
So I peeked 'round the corner, the An there ya go, there's another girl that's comin' home from Lookin' so cool, learned her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, look funny All the little girls comin' home from school and they're Talkin' and drinkin' and all other funny things"
And Charlie to me, "Ya know what?", I said, "What?" He said, "Man, you go out there and do somethin' for yourself like you wanna make it or else you gonna be sittin' 'round here Like "
I said, "You're right, I said, "You're so right" He said, "I know", I said, "Do ya?" Said, "You know, cuttin' records, cuttin' records right You come that"
An' just all the time, you're gonna be out on the road I'm out on the man, on the, on the highway And the colors are run
All of a sudden, ya feel safe the next gig, you gotta make it "I said, "Yeah I safe, I said, "Yeah, you know I stay here all the time as much as I'd like to But, I learned about all day and all night"
"And dig sounds, and go down to the And once the artists go the motions Gotta do my thing, aah-ah, gotta do my thing"
