Dr. Pants: Listen

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

This is an acoustic demo of a song that might go on the next record...we'll see.

TOM THE LODGER LIVED IN NEW MEXICO FOR ONE YEAR
HE HAPPENED UPON HELL IN HIS SEARCH FOR PARADISE
TOM THE LODGER STAYED IN NEW MEXICO FOR ONE YEAR
WHERE NO ONE STOOD A CHANCE, WHERE IT WAS COLD AS ICE

HE'D TAKE A WALK AROUND THE CAMPUS
ALONE WITH JUST HIS MIND
AND THE HEADPHONES THAT FED HIM
WITH MUSIC SO DIVINE
AND I KNOW THE THINGS I SHOULD HAVE SAID
THAT WOULD HAVE KEPT HIM NEAR
AND EVEN THOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS
THERE'S A ROOM FOR HIM HERE

TOM THE LODGER SQUIRMED IN NEW MEXICO FOR ONE YEAR
HE HAPPENED UPON THE DESERT IN HIS SEARCH FOR SOMETHING PURE
TOM THE LODGER TOOK ME OUT TO DINNER IN THE SPRINGTIME
I COULD HAVE LET HIM IN, BUT I WAS SO UNSURE

WE TOOK A WALK AWAY FROM CAMPUS
TO SPEAK OF MY DESPAIR
BUT THE BURDEN THAT I CARRIED
I WOULDN'T LET HIM SHARE
AND I KNOW THE THING I SHOULD HAVE DONE
WHILE WE ATE THERE IN THAT PLACE
AND EVEN THOUGH HE WANTED TO REMAIN
I DIDN'T THINK I HAD THE SPACE

TOM THE LODGER HELPED ME HAVE A BIGGER ROOM FOR ONE YEAR
HELPED ME GIVE SHELTER, HELPED ME FIND MY FATE
TOM THE LODGER, NOW THAT I SEE YOU IN THOSE PICTURES
KNOW THAT I'M WAITING HERE, PLEASE KNOW IT'S NOT TOO LATE

TAKE A WALK AROUND THE CAMPUS
ALONE WITH JUST YOUR MIND
AND THE HEADPHONES THAT FEED YOU
WITH MUSIC SO DIVINE
AND I KNOW THE THE THINGS I SHOULD HAVE SAID
THAT I COULD HAVE KEPT YOU NEAR
AND EVEN THOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
THERE'S ROOM FOR YOU HERE

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ROOM FOR YOU HERE
