Copper Room

COPPER ROOM (reworking of Green Onions, by Silvio Vinci) Down in the Copper Room, There’s a tremble in the floor. Down in the Copper Room, There’s a tremble in the floor. I came to stay a minute, Now I’m asking for some more. She left her coat beside me, Said, “Keep an eye on that.” She left her coat beside me, Said, “Keep an eye on that.” Then she pulled me to the dance floor— Left my troubles where I sat. That man behind the keyboard Has the whole room in his hands. That man behind the keyboard Has the whole room in his hands. He never says a single word, But everybody understands. They turned the lights up early, But nobody made a move. They turned the lights up early, But nobody made a move. She said, “You keep the coat, boy— I’ve got dancing left to do.” Down in the Copper Room, We let the last train go. Down in the Copper Room, We let the last train go. There’s a cold wind on the corner, But it’s warm down here below. Copper Room… Keep it warm. One more time… Let that organ talk.
