Backroom Lyrics - Blondie

Some of my old friends say I'm self possessed 

I hope you don't mind if I get something off my chest 

Between you and me I only go out at night 

Sunlight in my eyes just makes me uptight 

In the backroom we be drinking all night 

We be living in a vacuum 

We be looking for a fight 

In the backroom we be drinking all night 

We be running out of headroom 

We be looking for a fight 

Crowd was thinning out 

And he came through the door 

I look right at him 

He looks at the floor 

Awkward glances catch the thread long ago 

I'm seeing red 

Does your sister dress you up 

Does the devil know you're dead

I don't know if Gabriel keeps a place for me 

I still want to go to heaven & see what I can see 

I don't want to have St Peter close the gate on me 

I still want to get to heaven & be what I can be 

We had moved to the place 

I heard them say 'Last Call' 

I stepped over all of them 

And walked on down the hall 

The man says not to wait for judgment 

It comes everyday 

Absolution at a price 

And we all have to pay 

In the backroom we be drinking all night 

We be living in a vacuum 

We be looking for a fight 

In the backroom we be drinking all night 

We be running out of headroom 

We be looking for a fight

I still want to go to heaven & see what I can see 

I don't want to have St Peter close the gate on me 

I still want to get to heaven & be what I can be 

Shoo sha doo 

Shoo sha doo 

Shoo sha doo 

Shoo sha doo 

Shoo sha doo 

Shoo sha doo 

Shoo sha doo 

Shoo 

(We be drinking all night) 

In the backroom we be drinking all night 

We be living in a vacuum 

We be looking for a fight 

In the backroom we be drinking all night 

We be running out of headroom 

We be looking for a fight
