Bilingual
I think it was
I think it was
I think it was
The click-click-clicking of the fingernail clippers
Or was it the sound of laughter outside?
Or the pad-pad-padding of the chambermaid's slippers?
But I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake
Quite aware of checkout time
Out and down past those stickers on that chambermaid's cart
Past the suits with wet hair at the breakfast buffet
Through the lobby where the World's Largest Lemonade Stand starts
It's day off by shooing away a guy with a sign that says
"I'm saving up for a harmonica one day"
And past the girl in the wheelchair who says
"It's not mine, I'm just sitting in it for someone"
And just then there's a bus with a Marlboro ad
On the back that says, "Bob, I miss my lung"
Except it says, "I miss my lung, Bob"
It's 'cause I paraphrase so much
But I think it was, "I miss my lung, Bob"
You know, I think it was
I think it was
I think it was
