Picture This

All I want is a room with a view
A sight worth seeing a vision of you
All I want is a room with a view, oooooooooooooooooooooh
I will give you my finest hour
The one I spent watching you shower
I will give you my finest hour oh yeah
All I want is a photo in my wallet
A small remembrance of something more solid
All I want is a picture of you
Picture this a day in December
Picture this freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only, oohh, oh
Picture this a sky full of thunder
Picture this my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you oh yeah
All I want is 20/20 vision
A total portrait with no omissions
All I want is a vision of you, oooh
If you can,
Picture this a day in December
Picture this freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only, oooooh
Picture this a sky full of thunder
Picture this my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you
Get a pocket computer, try to do what ya used to do, yeah
