The Best Room Lyrics
Let loose with your charms, go reckless unharmed
We all signed the card; “Get well, but don’t you try too hard”
The lessons unlearned, Oh this meeting it’s adjourned!
These western concerns, “Hold my place in line while I take your turn”.
To the empty balconies we serenade
All the playgrounds where them kids don’t get to play
Dirty parkies went and chased them all away
To the game consoles to fatten
The best room they have is the last room you’d want.
The bathroom’s outside, police tape is tied to the door knobs from rooms nine through thirty-two.
Aw! These western concerns. We beg while we chew.
These western concerns are all I ever really learned to be concerned with
But don’t you know it’s hard feeling tired every time that you try.
Ain’t it hard feeling tired all the time?
The family living upstairs must have a fleet of rider lawn mowers,
the novelist to my right’s convinced that every woman’s a whore.
But he bothers me time and again to “set him up” with my very best friends,
and I say “WHAT?!!”
Says he doesn’t restate, but he will not shut up.
Don’t ya don’t ya know it’s hard feeling tired every time that you try?
Ain’t it hard feeling tired all the time.
Don’t ya don’t ya know.
I am gonna bury my head in the woods right now.
Scan for some mycelia and bring a little back to town.
But don’t ya don’t ya know it’s hard feeling tired every time that you try.
Go reckless unharmed. Yep the shut-ins they’re well armed.
We all led the charge, till we ran aground in our party barge, and every little gift was just one more part of their grift.
Oh yeah we know it. The best news that we all got was just some dumb hokum we’d all bought.
Let’s go reckless feeling great, we’re the sexiest of all primates. Let’s let loose with our charms, shake our ass and wave our arms, all going apeshit!

This song was apparently inspired by the famous Phoenix Lights UFO sighting in 1997 where Modest Mouse was on a plane stuck in a holding pattern and ended up landing and being sent to a hotel surrounded by police tape after their plane landed. "The best news that we all got was just some dumb hokum we’d all bought" referring to Jesus Christ and his religion being the best thing we've seen since the existence of humans. "These western concerns are all I ever really learned to be concerned with" referring to the common thoughts westerners have as opposed to others around the world which can vary widely between the two because of the social status and perceived wealth of westerners.
The verse about the novelist is hilarious ahaha
I love this tune. So quiet and sad... Ain't it hard, being so tired.. All the time..? Let loose with your charms shake your add and swing your arms all going apeshit. Would love to hear this song live. I will go apeshit!!
How are there only 2 messages. Isaac weaves this tale using a bunch of subplots and also keeping some of the corners dark on it as well, we beg while we chew, love it, to the game consoles to fatten I think almost has a conspiring tone, and I also want to give him a lot of praise for waiting so long to admit and tell the non-fiction tale of this account,,,
