Lyrics
[Verse 1]
At the transit station doors
he's already on the fifth
paper bag in his fist
like it never had a name
By the lobby mat I stop
watch his shoulders fold in
before the clocks say ten
the day gets bent again
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the turnstile cough
I see the guard look down
one more swallow burns
through the cracked-up ground
[Chorus]
Not in the lobby, no
not in the lobby
Not in the lobby, no
not in the lobby
Before ten o'clock
before ten o'clock
I need a different end
I need a different end
[Verse 2]
He's got a coat with holes
and shoes split at the seam
a life that got too cold
for the room it should have seen
I don't want the floor to shake
with another fallen song
but I know that empty look
it can drag us both along
[Pre-Chorus]
The metal bench goes cold
the morning hangs too low
I want to say his name
I don't even know
[Chorus]
Not in the lobby, no
not in the lobby
Not in the lobby, no
not in the lobby
Before ten o'clock
before ten o'clock
I need a different end
I need a different end
[Bridge]
[Harmonica break]
If I sound hard, I’m tired
if I turn away, I’m scared
he's still somebody's son
still somebody's prayer
[Final Chorus]
Not in the lobby, no
not in the lobby
Not in the lobby, no
not in the lobby
Before ten o'clock
before ten o'clock
I need a different end
I need a different end
Not in the lobby, no
not in the lobby

Style
Dark trudging blues with a dragged-backdown beat, sparse brushed kit and moaning slide guitar; verse rides a low, steady pocket while pre-chorus tightens with handclaps and a walking bass; chorus opens with stacked male vocals and a rough gang-unison hook. Add harmonica sighs between lines, a tape-saturn break before the last chorus, and gritty close-mic male vocals in a dusty, intimate mix., blues
