Lyrics The Brook Room - Mercury Rev

The Brook Room

Jukebox spins
An old-time disc
The vinyl crackles
It feels like a kiss
Stan cracks a smile
'Cause I know he’s got ya
Cleans out your glass
And then he pours another vodka
Baby’s asleep
So pray my soul to keep
When this song’s done
We’ll start another one
There goes last call
Now you’re drinking water
I’d feed the jukebox
But I ain’t got a quarter
Time moves so slow
When you are just broken
Time can do so much
It leaves you wide open
Baby’s asleep
So pray my soul to keep
When this song’s done
We’ll start another one
Took one for the road
The road took it back
Took one for my love
Well I can’t keep track
Can’t stop the car
We’re falling apart
Deal me a card
And don’t break my heart
Baby’s asleep
So pray my soul to keep
When this song’s done
We’ll start another one
Baby’s asleep
So pray my soul to keep
When this song’s done
We’ll start another one
Sky’s gone dark
Got a penny in your pocket
We can watch TV
But you’re already hocked it
Ship out tonight
On a bus to Buffalo
I’ll think of you tomorrow
When I’m walking through the snow
My baby’s asleep
So pray my soul to keep
When this song’s done
We’ll start another one
Baby’s asleep
So pray my soul to keep
When this song’s done
We’ll start another one
Baby’s asleep
So pray my soul to keep
When this song’s done
We’ll start another one
