Rented Rooms (Edward in Hell)

lyrics

All I ever wanted
was a very sexy life
If routine be the butter
then I the hottest knife
But it became pathological
such a tragic little scene
a DM here, a check-in there, her credit card
and pretty soon we’re in our underwear
It’s such a sad affair

You’re witnessing the fall of man
right here in real time
He’s less concerned with the damage done
than with can he make it rhyme
I couldn’t do the dad rock
the vacations and those things
So I traded down for rented rooms
eternal afternoons and suburban flings

I’ve had half a life to figure it out
but no I can’t you tell you what’s it all about
And now, this is where the story ends
and I know I can’t go home again, no

You’d think we’d have it down by now
from the slime to popular song
but there’s just so much - gray matter and such
between the right and wrong
And now she stands before me
as naked as a flower
I’m searching for my higher self
in a room rented by the hour

I’ve had half a life to figure it out
but no I can’t tell you what’s it all about
And now, this is where the story ends
and I know i can’t go home again, no

This is where the story ends
this is where the story ends
When I leave this dingy room
I’ll throw this jacket in the bin
and I will start again
I will evolve
I will evolve
Watch me
Watch me evolve
Watch me

about

Eddie Japan Boston

".. a contagious attitude of doing it up, and doing it up right that you can hear in the carnival swirls of ultra-melodic pop, latin-flavored bravado and cinematic ‘70s UK rock."
