Sun Kil Moon - Window Sash Weights lyrics

Two AM, the birds are chirping outside
And they're keeping me awake
Outside in the backseat of
My girlfriend's car
Some old rusty window sash weights
Left over from the renovation down below
The old Chinese lady recently died
She's been living in the unit
Underneath me for 21 years
And has been there since 1975

Gonna take the sash weights to
My old house and
Put them in a circle in the backyard
This winter I'm gonna plant an Italian
Pine in the center and let
It take root while the rain
Pours down on it hard

This week, gonna fly to New York and
Play Sarah Lawrence College


And dust my nylon-string guitar off and play
A various selection of songs on it
And something I say will likely be viewed as
Offensive and cause a student to be alarmed
Or if a college girl is nice to
Me and I speak to her
It might be misconstrued and
I won't be pardoned
Will a nearby voyeuristic blogger read
Purposefully too deeply into it
Go home, report it on cyber
And tug on his dick, and wait for hit's
Oh sweet tonight is quiet and the birds
Outside sing sing sing sing sing sing
And I'm still high from last night
I played with my old friend David J and
Some nice girls accompanied us on strings

And afterwards we rushed off
To see Garland Jeffreys
He sang "New York Skyline
" it was one of the most beautiful
Things that I had ever seen and after that
Gonna record with Nate and Steve in Hoboken
Nate called me yesterday, his wife is
Pregnant, I told him, "Man, congratulations"
Oh how things change
And that's an interesting part of
Getting up there in age
Seeing how we all grow older and how our
Lives and the colors around us change

When I get back, i'm gonna take a trip with
My girlfriend down to LA
Gonna stay at the Cecil hotel for a night
Where an alleged girl, allegedly
Named Elisa Lam, allegedly stayed
It's been on my mind since I think the
Story of her death was possibly staged
She died at 21 years old in 2013
The height of the internet age
Yet only 2 known photos
Plus the one on the elevator
With the pixelated face
Not one press conference about
How a Canadian's dead
Body was found on that February day

I once worked at a residential hotel with one
Fourth the amount of rooms as the Cecil
And the elevators and hallways were
Always active with hookers
And pimps and drug addicts and SSI people
And I'm telling you all that elevator footage
Of Elisa Lam looks totally rigged
Six hundred rooms and no one
Walked down the hall
And tried to get on that elevator with her
Who in the fuck do you think you're kidding?

Well I'm gonna check it out, I'm gonna ask
For the room with the old tenant
Richard Ramirez i don't spook easy and true
Crime is fascinating to
Me and that's my right as an American

My girlfriend said she's totally not
Into it but she's
Happy to take me there and drive me home
As long as in the morning
We can visit her parents, and
I said, great, I liked the
Bed in the guest room, it's nice and soft

Now lets cut some vague rock lyrics
Please please, please, please
Please, please
Please, please, please, please, please
La di da di la di da di la di da
Di la di la di la di la di dii
I love you all, I love you all, I love you
All, I love you all, I love you all
I love you all
I love you too, ghost girl in the elevator
Hearing voices in the hall

Bon Jovi's seen a million faces
And he's rocked them all
Those are his words, but I omitted
One, and the other two, i installed
You're not quite a million faces
But I love you
All, I love you all, I love you all
I love you all

Though we are imperfect, though
We are human, yes, we are all flawed
I see your face and I love
You all, I love you all
I love you all, I love you
All, I love you all, i love you all
I love you all, I love you all, I love you
All, I love you all, I love you all
I love you all
I see your face and love you all, love
You all, love you all, love you all
Love you all
Though I am imperfect, though I am human
Though I am flawed
I see all your faces and love you all, love
You all, love you all, love you all
Love you all

I love you all, I love you all, I love you
All, I love you all, I love you all
I love you all
I love you all, I love you all, I love you
All, I love you all, I love you all
I love you all
I love you all, I love you all, I love you
All, I love you all, I love you all
I love you all
I love you all, I love you all, I love you
All, I love you all, I love you all
I love you all
I love you all, I love you all, I love you
All, I love you all, I love you all
I love you all
