The Best Room Lyrics - Strangers To Ourselves - Modest Mouse

Let loose with your charms 

Go reckless, unharmed 

We all signed the card 

"Get well, but don't you try too hard" 

The lessons unlearned 

Oh, this meeting is adjourned 

Oh, these Western concerns 

Hold my place in line while I get your turn 

To the empty balconies we serenade 

All the playgrounds where them kids don't get to play 

Dirty parkies went and chased them all away 

To the game consoles to fatten 

The best room they have 

Is the last room you want 

The bathroom's outside 

Police tape is tied 

To the doorknobs of rooms 

Nine through thirty-two 

These Western concerns 

We beg while we chew 

These Western concerns are all I ever really learned to be concerned with 

But don't you, don't you know it's hard 

Feeling tired every time that you try? 

Ain't it hard feeling tired all the time? 

The family living upstairs must have a fleet of rider lawn mowers 

While the novelist to my right's convinced that every woman's a whore 

But he bothers me time and again 

To set him up with my very best friends and I say, "What?" 

Says he doesn't restate but he will not shut up! 

Well don't you, don't you know it's hard 

Feeling tired every time that you try? 

Ain't it hard feeling tired all the time? 

Don't you, don't you know 

I ain't goin' to bed 

Ring my head in the woods right now 

Scan for some mycelium 

And bring a little back to town 

Well don't you, don't you know it's hard (I ain't goin' to bed) 

Feeling tired every time that you try? (Ring my head in the woods right now) 

Ain't it hard feeling tired all the time? (Scan for some mycelium and bring a little back to town) 

Go reckless, unharmed 

Yep, the shut-ins, they're well armed 

Well, we all led the charge 

'Til we ran aground in our party barge 

Every little gift was just one more part of their grift 

Oh, yeah, we know it 

Oh, yeah, we know it 

The best news that we got 

Was some dumb hokum we'd all bought 

Oh, though reckless, feeling great 

We're the sexiest of all primates 

Let's let loose with our charms 

Shake our ass and wave our arms 

All going apeshit
