Lyrics
13 Rooms, 13 ways to play the scene, 13 mixed-up emotions
They?re all waiting in room 13
Room number one, he felt the attraction pulling him and pulling him in
And it got deeper and stronger and he knew that he should turn back
Ah but what harm can it do and he went on and on and on into room two
Where he felt the innocence. Remember that? Yeah, he did too and it felt so good to feel that way again he knew that he would have to go on and into the third room
Where he came to an understanding of himself and everything around him
There?s no stopping him now.
13 Rooms, 13 ways to play the scene, 13 mixed-up emotions
They?re all waiting in room 13
Room number four and he?d been there before and he kicked down the doors of love Bathed in its glory washed away on an ocean of emotion ah but the tide can turn
And in five he felt the rejection, pushing him back, pushing him back but you can?t go back.
In six came the guilt. How do you deal with that? Can you just wrap it up and send it off to someone you think deserves it? Ah, no. You better move on up into honesty
The seventh room is full of mirrors but the light?s too bright. You don?t like what you see. Sometimes the truth hurts
13 Rooms, 13 ways to play the scene, 13 mixed-up emotions
They?re all waiting in room 13
In the eighth room there is trust. The trust that?s put in you and that you give to others
But if you look at it closer it?s worn around the edges it?s fading, fading, fading
Rooms nine and ten, hope and despair, but which one is which and do you dare go in there? If one room is empty the other one?s sure to be, ah, it doesn?t bear thinking about. Move on out.
In room eleven you think you?re in Heaven, you feel the passion building, rising, pulling you under, you want to stay there forever ? cocooned
And it all explodes in a ball of confusion and you know you?re in twelve.
You turn his way and that way. You can?t think straight. Get me out of here, get me out of here.
There?s only one way out. Room thirteen.
The cold. The loneliness. The night-time of your soul.
13 Rooms, 13 ways to play the scene, 13 mixed-up emotions
They?re all waiting for in room 13
13 Rooms, 13 ways to play the scene, 13 mixed-up emotions
They?re all waiting for in room 13
Room 13 Room 13
13 Rooms
