Cooper, Alice - The Quiet Room Lyrics
[Alice Cooper / Bernie Taupin / Dick Wagner]
The California air
Your nightgown on the stairs
I remember every night
How long have I been gone
Did winter kill the lawn
And all those polaroids you sent
Are on the wall in the Quiet Room
They've got this place
Where they've been keeping me
Where I can't hurt myself
I can't get my wrists to bleed
Suicide appeals to me
The Quiet Room
Is sterilized and white
It's like a tomb
With just a moth stained naked night
Plastic forks and spoon
No laces in my shoes
They allknow what I tried to do
Outside the Quiet Room
This quiet place
It ain't so new to me
It's haunted atmosphere
Has heard so many scream
My home from home
My twilight zone
My strangest dream
My confidant
I have confessed my life
The Quiet Room
Knows more about me than my wife
They've got this place
Where they've been keeping me
Where I can't hurt myself
I just can't
I just can't get these damn wrists to bleed
A mattress on the floor
No handles on the door
I really need nothing here
I'm alone

Cooper, Alice The Quiet Room Comments
Best Alice album, followed extremely close with zipper catches skin. That's real Alice shit
Maurice White on background vocals
In my job I work with many people who are suicidal. When placing diet orders I have to specify “plastic forks & spoons”. Inevitably I will find myself singing this song the rest of the day
Best Alice Cooper album of all time.
Timeless track !!!!!
Love it. I had this album
Na,,i am watching TV
My favorite Cooper song on my favorite Cooper album.
Cara que merdA.decepcionou o gramde zemhor do rock
That's where I belong... =(
This is beautiful Alice muthafuckin Cooper ladies an Germs 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻💀🎃🔥🔥🍻🍻💨💨💨💨
This entire album is Phenomenal. Alice's best by FAR. Not a bad song on it.
There is so much of an Elton John sound on this whole album. I guess because Bernie Taupin was a co-writer... Sayin'
This album gets better every time I hear it and this is the classic song on it. Too bad I've never actually seen it live - just on some old youtube videos "live."
sometimes i feellike this
I have confessed my life!
Man what a song ... hits the nail on the head
I was 16 and in the state hospital when this came out. It didn't take them long to confiscate this cassette.
My brother told me how this made him and my dad cry while driving me to school. Played it in the car speaker and I gave it a listen. Felt sad, but didn't cry. Turned around to see me, a 12 year old, with a straight face but my usually kick ass, strong, brave 21 year old brother sobbing. Couldn't imagine seeing my father doing the same, he never cried.
Alice est un immense chanteur, il le prouve ici même après cette difficile épreuve d'une cure de désintox. Bravo Monsieur Cooper. You'r the Best, forever.
This song is me
thank u alice got this on 8 track when i was 10!!!
Pinche balada más sabrosonga
Admission to the fact that your alone and need nothing more is enviable....clarity is a precious moment for the soul that is forever thirsty
Love Alice. This album was great!👍

Lyrics:
The California air
Your nightgown on the stairs
I remember every night
Scenes from home in the Quiet Room
How long have I been gone
Did winter kill the lawn
And all those polaroids you sent
Are on the wall in the Quiet Room
They've got this place
Where they've been keeping me
Where I can't hurt myself
I can't get my wrists to bleed
Just don't know why
Suicide appeals to me
The Quiet Room
Is sterilized and white
It's like a tomb
With just a moth stained naked night
Plastic forks and spoon
No laces in my shoes
They allknow what I tried to do
Outside the Quiet Room
This quiet place
It ain't so new to me
It's haunted atmosphere
Has heard so many scream
My home from home
My twilight zone
My strangest dream
My confidant
I have confessed my life
The Quiet Room
Knows more about me than my wife
They've got this place
Where they've been keeping me
Where I can't hurt myself
I just can't
I just can't get these damn wrists to bleed
A mattress on the floor
No handles on the door
I really need nothing here
I'm alone
haha. cool song, mark!
love me some coop...
Brilliant knew it when it first came out still brilliant
Amazing song, nothing can be said to express it greatness!
I really need nothing more... I’m alone...
Brilliant song/record. Haunting.
ill never forget this concert in Cleveland
Daniel Moore Mad house rock world tour 1979 April 13 a Friday the 13th Dallas Texas
I leant this album out to a friend and it came back scratched. That's when I made my mind up to never lend anything out again lol
Just like on Iggy Pop albums -- Alice always peppered his wild albums with some intense, wonderfully serious songs.
This is one of his best.
got the comic book of this wonderful humanizing work of musical art
Beautiful and poignant. Deep, pure tears and blood on the page. Alice's most personal song, along with "How will you see me now" . From the Inside, his best album.
Love this song
absolutely the best album I heard from Alice Cooper I can really relate to this song
Lyrics so personal, so profound, so powerful, so meaningful, u can feel it all
I know his pain god please save us all from life
This song means so much. Got me through horrible depression as a teen in the 80's. I felt connected to someone.
I am glad I am not the only one who turned to this Album in The 80's!
Dalene Baxter same here....felt alone in Texas..... still do sometimes..
I know the quiet room well.
I alway wear headphones and then when I’m in line up I say I’m sorry I have the earphones in because it’s stops the voices in my head .
I'm only 22 but I've been through a lot in my short time alive that I can easily relate to this song and honestly pretty much the whole album. I've attempted suicide 3 times a few years back, self harmed (by cutting myself) and have been dealing with severe depression for about 12 years now, I've stayed in a psychiatric hospital, I have Autism which presents its own struggles, and I have a very mild case of Cerebral Palsy that makes me walk different than everyone else that surprisingly, I'm still looked at strangely for, even at 22. I saw Alice live back in November of this year and I loved it. It sucked he played no songs from this album but he usually doesn't. It's a shame because this album clearly helped a lot of people and even in 2019, still helps people such as me that life just really beats up sometimes. Glad to see this album helped more people than just me.
Best Alice song ever
mentally & emotionally this is where I am
My first concert!
much love
I kinda always thought that they could have made a movie with all of his characters in this album sorta a horror thriller,,,,
my favorite Alice Cooper album by far,,,
His too
you have to live what he saying i lived it
Great song
Anyone ever been in their own metaphorical quiet room?
Eaxlo Studios who said anything about metaphor?
https://youtu.be/G-WZK4s0hbY
Yes, indeed.
Hell yes
one of me is
I've been to that place. Saved my life! But back when this came I knew it was probably the most important Alice ever. Now I know why.
the most amazing underrated Alice Cooper album ever,..actually of all time
MrUndeadEd ✌
Sounds better than ever!
I agree. I love this album
my favorite album next to lace and whiskey
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks lace and whisky is one of Alice's best ever album's
[email protected] Lovepugs
Loved ubangi stomp and road rats ,My all time favourites King of the silver screen
Blood guts and very soul he shead for us all to hear.
easily one of the most underrated albums of all time.
Dylan Aleksiejczyk absolutely, one of his finest.
yep the best one. but welcome to my n.m a very close 2nd
Bernie Taupin's lyrics are perfect.
They've got this place where they've been keeping me. where i cant hurt myself cant get my wrists to bleed. just dont know why suicide apeals to me ......
Those lyrics remind me of my alter ego so much
EmoGirlJada I hope you get over it.
all sliced up and sealed tight in baggies, love makes you do crazy things!!!
Dana Buchanan wrong song
I just can't get these wrists to bleed
Alice - all day, all night, anytime!!!
Same here
