Girlfriend

Room 421
an airport hotel
I know I should be sleeping
but it?s too soon to tell
if I?ll fly out tomorrow
if I?ll see her tomorrow
I hope that I will.
no place like alone
and no sound like my own voice
fading into
this quiet december night
but I?m doing alright
I ?ll make a phone call or two

Could I get some room service please?
send the maid in to see
about a few things I need

"Do you think you could
bring me my girlfriend
and a bottle of wine
bring me a future
just make sure it?s mine
will you open the window
but leave out the cold
could you make a phone call to Jesus
to clean up my soul"

Miles from my own bed
further from content
I guess I should get used to this
still rain on the runway
but I?m doing okay
I ?ve got cigarettes to kiss

"Could I get some room service please?
I ?m down on my knees
I ?m only here for tonight
?cause they fucked up my flight
serenading the wall
and I thought I should call
you to ask for it all
for it all
for it all

Remember to

Bring me my girlfriend
and a bottle of wine
bring me a future
make sure it?s mine
will you open the window
but leave out the cold
could you make a phone call to jesus
to clean up my soul."

Dial seven for a savior
"is this soul keeping please...
could you put me through to jesus
I ?ll pay your long-distance fees"
he said "hello and god bless you.
there?s a bible in the drawer."
I said "that?s wonderful sir. but I don?t read it anymore"
I don?t read it any more...

Bring me my girlfriend
and a bottle of wine
bring me a future
make sure it?s mine
will you open the window
but leave out the cold
could you make a phone call to jesus
to clean up my soul"

and a bottle of wine
