I Love This Place

I never thought we would ever leave Manhattan Let alone this place, let alone this place Ignoring the radiator spitting in my face Three years in this piano lounge plus two hundred sixty days Well now that I'm leaving Five months and counting down Let me show thanks for the home that I've known Shower in the kitchen across from the stove No sink in the bathroom or door to my bedroom Low sounds of pedestrians phones vibrating outside Old as f*ck window doubles as my pillow My dreams and the city noise fuse into Quite a cacophony Out my window Out my window Out my window Out my window Gentrified pitter patter, construction chatter College kids numb to the sirens No alarm could ever wake me here Cause I'm already up (Listen) Hear the old super's dog Bark and shake a squeak toy Calling all rats Calling all rats Calling all rats Rats The rats calling back Rats calling back Old radiator sneaking steam on the floor Moistening the piano leg Moistening the piano leg But I sweep well at night here Cause I love this place Yeah I sleep well at night here Cause I love this place I love this place This place has defined me More than my own face I love this place This place has defined me More than my own face I love this place The place loves me back Calling all rats Rats call me back Calling all rats Rats call me back Rats call me back (Calling all rats) (At least the rats) Rats call me back
