Kissin’ the Carpet Songtext
von Teenage Head

In the morning, I get together
And I get up and leave this place
But for now, I′ll drop down to the carpet
With my face

Spent all my money and I'm feeling good
I′ve got to party in my neighborhood
I've got my supplies from my friendly store
The party started, I reach for more

Well, I'll take today, you take tomorrow
I′ve got to boogie if I have to borrow
I can′t get up, I can't get down
It doesn′t matter anyway

I remember jumpin' right on this spot
And where I sleep is where I drop
Well, I was talking to Moses, he′s on that phone
When I hit that carpet, I'm all alone


Well, I′ll take today, you take tomorrow
I've got to party, if I have to borrow
I can't get up, I can′t get down
It doesn′t matter anyway

Thinking too slow (thinking too slow)
While I'm drinking too fast (I′m drinking too fast)
Well, how much longer (well, how much longer)
Will my body last?

The places I go (the places I go)
I'm drinking too much (I′m drinking too much)
I'm losing it all (well, I′m losing it all)
At the bottles' touch
Get 'em

Well, I felt my stomach flush, I felt it shake
I tried to make it but I was too late
Well, no one dragged me to my bed
Or wrapped a towel around my head

Well, I was talking to Moses, I′m on that phone
I hit that carpet, I′m all alone
I'll take today, you take tomorrow
I′ve got to boggie anyway


I'm thinking too slow (I′m thinking too slow)
While I'm drinking too fast (drinking too fast)
How much longer (well, how much longer)
Will my body last?

The places I go (the places I go)
Well, I′m drinking too much (I'm drinking too much)
I'm losing it all (well, I′m losing it all)
At the bottles′ touch

If you don't like it, baby, you can take a stroll
And I can tell that you can′t rock and roll
Your body's warped, and your brain is much too slow
I can tell that you can′t rock and roll

I'm thinking too slow (I′m thinking too slow)
When I'm drinking too fast (I'm drinking too fast)
Well, how much longer (well, how much longer)
Will my body last?

The places I go (the places I go)
When I′m drinking too much (I′m drinking too much)
I'm losing it all (I′m losing it all)
At the bottles' touch
