[hometext] => I love to watch people....
[bodytext] => Thin line of smoke rises into the cloud overhead diffusing the dim light Into a black and white movie, each frame flickering uneasily Eagerness is never appreciated but you can’t seem to help yourself You keep drinking until you don’t care what people think You feel like a man who can do anything You’re the main attraction tonight with your carefully edited jeans Torn at the knee for special effect, and you keep asking Dance with me, a smile and a wink won’t get you laid She says no and I say no and so on down the line Who are you I wonder as I watch you make a fool of yourself You want to sing with the band and play guitar You don’t even notice people rolling their eyes I want to yell cut and stop the next scene A train wreck you’ll surely regret, but you’re too fast for me There you are a super star under the lights Something sad tugs at my heart when people sing off key Why do people do things like that, I have to look away Sure that you’ve impressed the lady You start to chase her a little too hard And she leans closer to the other guy, and who could blame her You light another cigarette in desperation make one last attempt You dance with her and hold her tight – She’s doing you a favor I can see it in her eyes You’re talking now as if she cares as she walks away Another beer to dull the pain before they yell ‘last call’ The lights come on and people yawn heading for the door Saturday night has come and gone.
