Lyrics Dusty Rooms - Barenaked Ladies

Dusty Rooms

I spend too much time
In these dirty, dusty rooms
Places with the flickering signs
And the dirty, dusty rooms
Is it unfair to want fresh air
Is it such a crime
The window is locked, the bed is wrapped
I feel like I’m doing time
Dial 9 for an outside line
In a dirty, dusty room
I found an old wedge of lime
In a dirty, dusty room
On the TV, hey it’s Mr. T
Man, his jewelry shines
He’s so cool, and he pities the fool
Who wastes his precious time
Wasting precious time
In a dirty, dusty room
There’s a loud and leaking fan
In a dirty, dusty room
And all of the rock and roll bands
In their dirty, dusty rooms
Hey there Jim
Where have you been
How do you make the time fly
Down at the gym
Stretching my limbs, like a tree by the riverside
Like a tree by the riverside, not a dirty, dusty room
Dial 8 for a really weird time
In a dirty, dusty room
I gave in, I went for a spin, and lo what did I find
A little tin full of tarantula skin
And a house full of butterflies
A house full of butterflies
Not a dirty, dusty room
Allons-y mes amis
We’re making it out alive
Allons-y mes amis
It’s checkout time
It’s time to say goodbye
To our dirty, dusty rooms
We all spend too much time
In these dirty, dusty rooms
I spend too much time in these dirty, dusty rooms
