lyrics

(Beirut...)

Contractor came and quoted and I thanked him and paid nothing
Four thousand dollars to put back what left in a second
I have four thousand dollars. That is not the reason.
(not the reason)
The room sounds correct now. It did not before.

Everyone who records here notices (notices)
Nobody asks. They just play differently.

One wall missing
(missing, missing)
The best room in this city and it is not finished
One wall missing
Some things you leave open on purpose

My mother thinks it is dangerous, and she is correct
My friends think it is a statement, and they are wrong
It is neither. It is an acoustic decision and a memory
(and a memory)
Both of those are load-bearing, whatever the contractor says

(solo oud, 8 bars)
When I fix it, that means I have decided it is over.
I have not decided that.
(808 AND STRINGS SLAM BACK)

One wall missing
(missing, missing)
The best room in this city and it is not finished
One wall missing
Some things you leave open on purpose

(one wall...)
