lyrics

There’s room in the house
for a hard rock and a hardcore band,
for a bagel and a pita, a Bible and a Gita, a half-and-half pizza.
There’s room enough for things carefully and easily placed,
for those who favor a fevered or an even pace.
There’s plenty of room, if you ask me,
for those who agree and who don’t agree.

This house is not so big.
To find what you need, you’ve got to dig.
But it’s all right for me if it’s all right for you.
And it must be good for you if it’s good for her too.
It’s chaos, and that’s how we live.
When we accept, that’s how we give.

There’s room for your poster of Johnny Depp,
over which you wept,
for her Rx and your Chinese herbs
if they calm your nerves.
Room for premonitions of doom and gloom.
I think there’s room.
Cause we’ve got a room full of balloons
that may go boom.

There’s time enough to be earnest
if that’s what you need.
Time enough to turn
and to feel freed.
There’s time to make mistakes
and act the fool.
Time to see yourself
as cool and uncool.

And there’s room enough in the house,
whatever phase you’re in,
if you take your garbage out
and bring back the bins.
