No Vacancy

[Verse 1]
Three flights and a taxi ride separate your skin from mine.
Mi draw di blueprint fi yuh arrival, every single line precise.
This whole building hold its breath, a silence sharp like ice.
Waiting fi yuh footstep echo, just once or twice.

[Chorus]
This room have a sign pon di door, seh No Vacancy.
Only your shadow fit di shape trace out pon mi floor.
This heart have a sign pon di door, seh No Vacancy.
And it nuh lie.

[Verse 2]
Sweep di veranda clean, mek sure di ackee tree nuh shed.
Polish di glass till it glare, frame up di whole city spread.
From the hills of St. Andrew, watch di harbour light dem red.
Rehearsing every word mi nah seh when yuh lay down in mi bed.

[Chorus]
This room have a sign pon di door, seh No Vacancy.
Only your shadow fit di shape trace out pon mi floor.
This heart have a sign pon di door, seh No Vacancy.
And it nuh lie.

[Bridge]
Foundation shaky when di architect standin' alone.
Come be the load-bearing wall, come mek this high-rise a home.

[Chorus]
This room have a sign pon di door, seh No Vacancy.
Only your shadow fit di shape trace out pon mi floor.
This heart have a sign pon di door, seh No Vacancy.
And it nuh lie.

[Outro]
Just your shadow pon di floor...
Till yuh touch down.
