The Room Paul Shapera

[Alex, spoken:]
And boom, just like that, this crazy little junkie chick, looks like she's on her last legs, she takes down my toughest, nastiest boys like it was nothing. Nothing
So we just stand there starin' at each other and I'm like, "Okay, darling, okay. Everything's cool. We can just talk this through, me and you, nice and slow. Maybe we can come..."

[Alice:]
There’s not much left, I’m sorry, oh my darling
But there’s not much left, oh Lord knows, now of me

[Alex, spoken:]
What did you just say?

[Alice:]
There’s not much left, a mattress on an empty bed
And there’s not much left, oh Lord knows, here of me

Away
Take these burdens away

[Alice and Alex:]
Take these burdens, someday
Let them lie
You’ll never set them down
While you’re alive

[Alice:]
Help
Help me finish
Come see
What I’ve built, I’ve made, with me
Come and see
The room beneath which lies
I’ll never finish while I’m alive
