lyrics

Mont Royal 927
Address like it's going out
But it's not even 11
They'll still be glued to the couch
Buzzer's broken missed the click
Somebody's smoking round back, quick
Too slow where did they go
Get in with the window trick

Dinner interrupts a card game
Winner cleaning up the hard way
Parley that into a part-time job
Making sandwiches just for Mott
Summer's getting wetter better bring a sweater
Drinking in the park
Bottles clinking in the dark
I'm apart

But I'm getting to know you
You know exactly what I mean
If you ever need me
You know exactly where I'll be
Across the street

Mont Royal 914
The 5 years in between
Knowing nothing, knowing everything
If I learned, I learned to pretend
This room feels like a cave
Clouds and TV snow the same
Crowd round there's a movie on
The couch is full, I love this song

But I think I've seen this one before
Take the door to the porch, Jubal gave me the tour
More stairs to the ladder, ladder to the roof
Shotgun to the brain 200 proof
Hoping I can get back down
Kinda nervous, til I look around
See the city in the night, looking at the light
From the other apartment

I'm getting to know you
You know exactly what I mean
If you ever need me
You know exactly where I'll be
Across the street
