outside the rain is coming down inside it s warm and dry you ll never find a cab uptown so why not stay the night why don t you call in sick tomorrow let s sleep the day away i ve got pajamas you can borrow let s take a holiday you can t leave the village in the morning when the radio writes poetry for avenue pi you get tangled in the wheels of old queen river and you can t find the breath to whisper goodbye whisper goodbye why don t you stay until the weekend it should clear up by then as your resolve begins to weaken we ll become such good friends and you could stay until the summer and we can sleep through spring and i can telephone my drummer and have her get your things you can t leave the village in the morning when the radio writes poetry for avenue pi you get tangled in the wheels of old queen river and you can t find the breath to whisper goodbye whisper goodbye why don t you stay until we re old and fall in love with life why don t you stay until we re ghosts we ll only seem to die  you can t leave the village in the morning when the radio writes poetry for avenue pi you get tangled in the wheels of old queen river and you can t find the breath to whisper goodbye whisper goodbye1
