This track, along with French Blonde and Happy People, was originally recorded for Deal Casino’s album, LLC, which was Joe P’s old band. Interestingly, on LLC it was featured as the first track, where here it is the last.
[Intro]
Yeah!
[Verse 1]
Pick out your face, which one today?
What will they say?
I say what I mean, to the back of my teeth
While I sleep through the week
[Chorus]
But I'm upstairs in your room
And you're downstairs dancin'
I'll just wait here for you
I'll just keep campin' in your bed
Build a tent, hold some pillows, and pretend
We're upstairs in your room
While they're downstairs dancin'
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I'm the black and white scenes on a color TV
In a film you won't see
("What was that shit that you called it in kindergarten? It was like-")
You get what you get, and you don't get upset
So I try to forget
[Chorus]
But I'm upstairs in your room
And you're downstairs dancin'
I'll just wait here for you
I'll just keep campin' in your bed
Build a tent, hold some pillows, and pretend
We're upstairs in your room
While they're downstairs dancin'
Yeah
[Bridge]
Runnin' out of supplies
Tryin' my best to survive
And all my friends are slowly dyin' one by one
But it sounds like so much fun
[Chorus]
I'm upstairs in your room
You're downstairs dancin'
But I'll just wait here for you
I'll just keep campin' in your bed
In your bed, oh, and soon I'll just forget
I'm all alone in your room, oh-oh-ohh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
