Cover art for The Room Got Heavy lyrics by Yo La Tengo

wow, this is tough. good job with the lyrics. i have some possible fill ins for the ?'s, & heard some stuff slightly different in the second verse than what's posted:

parsing through the tunnel / palisades park / summer after dark / hand holding ??? / to a party invitation

from 2nd verse, 2nd line: all the coughing in the air / & the couple around the corner / at the yellow light blinking

from 2nd verse, 10th line: & screeched across the floor / hands in my pocket / my eyes are unfocused
