Room 229 Lyrics - Ian Moore

Well, the distance makes you pretty 

And now you're cracked and gray 

And your legs they move like scissors 

Open up the wound each time you give yourself away 

And I'm sorry for the damage 

Let me lay down by your side 

And let me come down almost human, yeah 

For awhile, for awhile, just for awhile 

Just for awhile 

So dance for me, Virginia 

Let the leather kiss your pale white skin 

I'd, I'd say I love you, baby 

But I'd rather, rather, rather keep it straight and clean 

And I'm sorry for the damage 

And let me lay down by your side 

And let me come down almost human, yeah 

For awhile, for awhile, just for awhile 

You're torn and frayed, you're bleeding rose 

But you fall each time the wind begins to howl 

And on your knees these twisted prayers 

They fill your mouth but leave you bare 

It doesn't mean much 

To a girl who's on her own 

Hey 

And I'm sorry for the damage 

Let me lay down by your side 

And let me come down almost human, yeah 

For awhile, for awhile, for awhile, for awhile 

Just for awhile 

Just for awhile 

Hey, just for awhile 

Hey baby, hey baby 

Hey, hey, hey
