Room 429 Songtext
von Cop Shoot Cop

What you don′t understand
Is where everything's leading
When all of the signs you see still point to overload

As you reach out your hand
A shattered picture is seething
Like tail lights along that lonesome stretch of broken road
′Cause you've been to the past
And it's just a reminder
Of a collection of faces that will never come to call
When you′ve cut through the mask
When you′ve been through the grinder
Sometimes you forget that you had ever been there at all

Up here in room 429
Yeah, the world ain't so unkind
I wanna take you to that empty room tonight


In the shadow of doubt
In the crush of an instant
Standing in the rain outside my door, hand on your knife
When you reach a brick wall
There is still a decision
Always thought if I had to lose, I′d surely choose my life

Up here in room 429
Yeah, the world ain't so unkind
I wanna take you to that empty room tonight
We′ll tell the world outside the door
That we're never coming back no more
We′re gonna stay in here 'til we turn off the light
'Til we turn off the light

The city breathes so softly
Everything is sleeping
I am at the window
Silently watching
I can see you standing
Your back against the window
I can hear you asking
But the streets they are not giving


Don′t look to the ocean
Restless and it′s driven
Don't look to the heavens
For they will tell you nothing
Living is for loving
Dying is for getting
Once we have forgotten
Then we can go on living

In a lifetime of hope
In a second of kindness
There is never a doubt that we are born and die alone
From within or without
There′s no way they can find us
When they knock at the door, the lights are on
But we ain't home

Up here in room 429
Yeah, the world ain′t so unkind
I wanna take you to that empty room tonight
We'll tell the world outside the door
That we′re never coming back no more
I wanna stay in here 'til we turn off the light
We're gonna stay in here ′til we turn off the light

′Til we turn off the light
'Til we turn off the light
′Til we turn off the light
