Sun Kil Moon - Window Sash Weights lyrics

Two A.M., the birds are chirping outside And they’re keeping me awake Outside in the backseat of my girlfriend’s car, some old rusty window sash weights Left over from the renovation down below, the old Chinese lady recently died She’s been living in the unit underneath me for 21 years And has been there since 1975 Gonna take the sash weights to my old house and put them in a circle in the backyard This winter I’m gonna plant an Italian Pine in the center and let it take root while the rain pours down on it hard This week, gonna fly to New York and play Sarah Lawrence College And dust my nylon-string guitar off and play a various selection of songs on it And something I say will likely be viewed as offensive and cause a student to be alarmed Or if a college girl is nice to me and I speak to her, it might be misconstrued and I won’t be pardoned Will a nearby voyeuristic blogger read purposefully too deeply into it Go home, report it on cyber and tug on his dick, and wait for hits Oh sweet tonight is quiet and the birds outside sing sing sing sing sing sing And I’m still high from last night, I played with my old friend David J and some nice girls accompanied us on strings And afterwards we rushed off to see Garland Jeffreys He sang “New York Skyline,” it was one of the most beautiful things that I had ever seen And after that, gonna record with Nate and Steve in Hoboken Nate called me yesterday, his wife is pregnant, I told him, “Man, congratulations” Oh how things change, and that’s an interesting part of getting up there in age Seeing how we all grow older and how our lives and the colors around us change When I get back, I’m gonna take a trip with my girlfriend down to L.A Gonna stay at the Cecil hotel for a night, where an alleged girl, allegedly named Lisa Lam, allegedly stayed It’s been on my mind since I think the story of her d**h was possibly staged She died at 21 years old in 2013, the height of the internet age Yet only 2 known photos, plus the one on the elevator with the pixelated face Not one press conference about how a Canadian’s dead body was found on that February day I once worked at a residential hotel with one fourth the amount of rooms as the Cecil And the elevators and hallways were always active with hookers and pimps and drug addicts and SSI people And I’m telling you all that elevator footage of Elisa Lam looks totally rigged Six hundred rooms and no one walked down the hall and tried to get on that elevator with her Who in the f** do you think you’re kidding? Well I’m gonna check in out, I’m gonna ask for the room with the old tenant, Richard Ramirez I don’t spook easy and true crime is fascinating to me and that’s my right as an American My girlfriend said she’s totally not into it but she’s happy to take me there and drive me home As long as in the morning we can visit her parents, and I said, great, I liked the bed in the guest room, it’s nice and soft Now lets cut some vague rock lyrics Please please please please please please please please please please please La di da di la di da di la di da di la di la di la di la di dii I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all I love you too, ghost girl in the elevator, hearing voices in the hall Bon Jovi’s seen a million faces, and he’s rocked them all Those are his words, but I omitted one, and the other two, I installed You’re not quite a million faces, but I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all Though we are imperfect, though we are human, yes, we are all flawed I see your face and I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all I see your face and love you all, love you all, love you all, love you all, love you all Though I am imperfect, though I am human, though I am flawed I see all your faces and love you all, love you all, love you all, love you all, love you all I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all, I love you all
