“Room a Thousand Years Wide” is unusual in that it was written without input from Chris Cornell. The music was written by Matt Cameron and the lyrics by Kim Thayil. The song was originally recorded in 1990 and released on a single. The version on Badmotorfinger is a re-recording.
[Verse 1]
Listen, hear, he is inside
One who lives while others lie
I close my eyes and walk a thousand years
A thousand years that aren't mine
Hey
[Verse 2]
It seems he's near me as I walk
One who loved what love denied
He lives these years that I walk blind
All these years cannot be mine
[Chorus]
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow, oh
[Verse 3]
A thousand doors, a thousand lies
Rooms a thousand years wide
I walk in the cold sun and wind
All these years will not begin
[Chorus]
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
[Outro]
Tomorrow, hey
Hey
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
