There's a picture of Jesus lying in
His mother's arms
Shuttered windows cars hummin' on the street below
The fountain throbbed in the lobby of the Grand Hotel
We checked into room 33 well well well well
You were a runaway flake of snow
You were skinny and white as a wafer yeah I know
Sitting on the edge of the bed clicking your shoes
I slid my little songs out from under you Ooh ooh
And we all rose from our wonder
We would never admit defeat
And we leaned out of the window
And more as the rain fell on the street
All on the street
They were just a sigh released from a dying star
They were runaway flakes of snow yeah I know
They annexed your insides in a late night raid
And we sent down for drinks and something to eat
The cars hummin' on the street below
All I fountain throbs in the lobby of the Grand Hotel
The spurting font of creativity yeah I know
Your head in a pool of your own streaming hair
Jesus lying in his mother's arms
Up on the wall just so
Just so
And we all rose from our wonder
We will never admit defeat
And will leaned out of the window
And watched the horses in the street
Well in the street
Yeh yeh
Whoo whoo whoo
Whoo whoo whoo
Room 33
Whoo whoo whoo whoo 33
Whoo whoo whoo whoo
