The Best Room - 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 for 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?

Well don’t you, don’t you know

I’m going to bury

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'm going to bury)

Feeling tired every time that you try?

(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
