The Best Room Songtext
von Modest Mouse

Let loose with your charms
Go reckless, unharmed
We all signed the card
"Get well, but don′t you try too hard"

The lessons unlearned
Oh, this meeting is adjourned
Oh, these Western concerns
Hold my place in line while I get your turn

All the empty balconies we serenade
All the playgrounds where them kids don't get to play
Dirty parkies went and chased them all away
To the game consoles to fatten

The best room they have
Is the last room you want
The bathroom′s outside
Police tape is tied


To the doorknobs of rooms
Nine through 32
These Western concerns
We beg while we chew

These Western concerns are all I ever really learned to be concerned with
But don't you, don't you know it′s hard
Feeling tired every time that you try?
Ain′t it hard feeling tired all the time?

The family living upstairs
Must have a fleet of rider lawn mowers
While the novelist to my right's convinced
That every woman′s a whore

But he bothers me time and again
To set him up with my very best friends
And I say, "What?"
Says he doesn't restate but he will not shut up
Well, don′t you, don't you know it′s hard
Feeling tired every time that you try?
Ain't it hard feeling tired all the time?
Don't you, don′t you know

I am going to bury my head in the woods right now
Scan for some mycelium, bring a little back to town


Don′t you, don't you know it′s hard (I am going to bury)
Feeling tired every time that you try? (My head in the woods right now)
Ain't it hard (scan for some mycelium?
Feeling tired all the time? (And bring a little back to town)

Go reckless, unharmed
Yep, the shut-ins, they′re well armed
Well, we all led the charge
'Til we ran aground in our party barge

Every little gift was just one more part of their grift
Oh yeah, we know it
Oh yeah, we know it, yeah

The best news that we got
Was some dumb hokum we′d all bought
Oh, though reckless, feeling great
We're the sexiest of all primates
Let loose with our charms
Shake our ass and wave our arms
All going apeshit
