Patti Smith – Room 1017 lyrics
She was born in Chicago from an Irish tree
Patti always knew what she wanted to be
Dreamt to escape the Piss-Factory’s 9-5 routine
She would become the poetess of New York’s punk-rock scene
At The Chelsea she stayed in Room ten seventeen
With Robert the photographer she was often seen
Just Kids growing in a World Gone Wrong
That she tried to write with words in songs
Her mother gave her Another Side which blew her mind
She’d get to know Bob well in the passage of time
She’d collect his prize as Hard Rain fell
Patti was so nervous we all could tell
Horses, horses running through the storm
Looking for shelter to stay safe and warm
Because the night belongs to you
We knew for sure you’d make it through
You’d make it through
You were inspired by Rimbaud and wrote for Rolling Stone
We all hoped you’d put more meat upon your bones
And Sam with his Cowboy Mouth just had to go
When he asked you to play a woman that looked like a crow
That looked like a crow
When you fell off that stage that you stood upon
Stipe and Ginsberg urged you to carry on
You toured with Bob like Queen and King
Sang for the Pope, you’d said Jesus didn’t die for your sins
Peace and noise and injustice and war
Make sure your house is in order for sure
When you fight for a cause take hold of the hand
Of the native Indians on whose land you stand
Horses, horses running through the storm
Looking for shelter to stay safe and warm
Because the night belongs to you
We knew for sure you’d make it through
Horses, horses running through the storm
Looking for shelter to stay safe and warm
Because the night belongs to you
We knew for sure you’d make it through
We knew for sure you’d make it through
You’d make it through, you’d make it through
