Lyrics

Every Room

Jen works the vice squad; Sarah works in sensitive crime
They share a big two-bedroom; save on rent and climb the uphill climb
They sweat for promotions; no one hands them anything
Voices whisper, trade your cuffs for wedding rings
They talk at night; they've seen bad men do worse things

They feel safer with a gun in every room
A gun in every room

Jen and Sarah worry what would give if certain things were known
So they're not seen much together; they only smile when they're at home alone
The voters lean left, but the old boys lean right
Sarah's parents call almost every night
Same old questions; she's vague and polite

They feel safer with a bed in every room
A bed in every room

One day off together; Sarah cooks and Jen lays in the sun
By unspoken agreement, they block out everything and everyone
Walk the dogs and dream of better times
No more secrets, no invisible lines
Night falls around them, but in their house the truth shines

They feel safe here, cause there's love in every room
Love in every room
They feel safe here, cause there's love in every room
Love in every room
