Lyrics

Apartment number 8

I spend most of my time in apartment number 8
folks around here call this building Melrose place
the view from my bedroom window,
that I see when I wake,
It over-looks down town Salt Lake
over-looks downtown Salt Lake

My roommate Rob, got engaged after a month
of dating a girl, that I'm sure he thinks is the one
he sold his jeep and his Trans-am so his
single life is done
but he's got Mary Kay and a Maxima
yes he's got Mary Kay and a Maxima

My younger brother Zach well he also lives with me
we often stand on the brink of, maturity
who'll be the first to jump,
well you shouldn't ask me,
wrapped up in my ropes of security
in my ropes of single security

My roommate Pop well he's the sensitive one
his first name is Pop but, he prefers Aaron,
one day he'll find a girl who's
blonde headed and plus some
Pop his wife two kids and a Maxima
Pop two kids his wife and a Maxima

I spend most of my time, in apartment number 8
white stucco walls and a kitchen full of dirty plates
I'll really surprise myself if I ever ask a girl on a date
stuck here in apartment number 8
yes I live in the corner of Mel Rose Place
I live in the corner of Mel Rose Place.
