Room 1210 |
| He kept to his own company last night |
| Lay upon the bed |
| Drapes and blinds shut tight |
| He booked the wake up call |
| His cases were all packed up by the door |
| All ready for it, then: |
| Goodbye Room 1210 |
| He’s taken a view |
| And squandered a few moments here |
| But no time’s wasted when |
| He’s in Room 1210 |
| Away from all the brutal noise outside |
| He paces out the waiting time |
| Delaying at the threshold of the door |
| He’s never going back to the party |
| A black and white film |
| Dubbed in a language |
| He can’t understand’s |
| Been on the TV awhile |
| The night rush below |
| The sirens outside come and go — |
| No-one can touch him when |
| He’s in Room 1210 |
| Time and event disappear |
| But every wall has ears |
| And the stories accrue |
| Dimly, he notes spinning gears |
| He’s one among the ghosts |
| Whose lives have been spent in |
| Room 1210 |
| A place of safety all his own |
| Now he’s not ever going home |
| Behind the door |
| There’s just one favour, he implores: |
| Do not disturb him |
| Any more |
