Lyrics:

I've checked in and now I can't check out. It seems.

I guess my life is in transition.

From one kind of a life to another.

From what kind of a life to another?

I find myself living in Heartbreak Efficiencies at the corner of Governor & West 114th St.

Six units and no doorbells.

But what do I need a doorbell for anyway?

All of the men and their women in the neighborhood choose to shout at each other in the streets.

Every Saturday, Saturday, Saturday.

Early Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.

I tuned in. They won't tune out.

I checked in and now I...

The man in Number 2 hanged himself last month.

I think I know why he chose the laundry room.

But I wonder what became of his two little girls and who it was that came to take them away.

I checked in and now I...

I checked in and now I can't check out. It seems.

I guess my life is in transition.

From what one of a life to another?

But what kind of a life to another?
