lyrics
I’m sittin’ in a hotel on a mountain
Countin’ cracks up on the ceiling
And teardrops on the floor
I’ve never missed someone like this
But I’ve never lost someone like you before
Just laid up in a hotel on a mountain
Countin’ lives we’ll never lead
And naming kids we’ll never know
I miss you like I wonder what the Beatles might have done
If they kept on going after Abbey Road.
Would they have been the first band to record live on the moon?
Would they have traded in their submarine for a hot air balloon?
Would Paul have stayed a vegetarian?
Would George have shaved his beard?
Would they have mellowed out with age or got progressively more weird?
Would they have invented dubstep in 1976?
Would they have beaten Bowie to dudes dressing up like chicks?
Would they have written out a treaties on the band’s philosophies
Telling how a gun is happiness when love is all you need?
And if Mark David Chapman kept his shitty ass at home
Would they be on reunion tour forever like the Stones?
If Ringo got his nose fixed and stole Yoko away from John
Would Johnny have just let it be or got his elephant and gun?
All the children sing:
I’m joking around but now and then I really do wonder
Whether we missed out on some of the best fucking music
Never created by man
And I remember we used to believe if two people
Could make something that good we can
But now I’m pinin’ for you darling on a mountain
Countin’ things we said we’d do together
As we rolled through the years
Taking on the world around us
Taking on the greatest of our fears
I’m hurting in a bad way on a mountain
Countin’ memories unmade
And naming kids we’ll never know
I miss you like I wonder what the Beatles might have done
If they kept on going after Abbey Road
