Rilo Kiley - Room 8 Lyrics

Send "Room 8" ringtones to your cell

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
