Joey Cape - Broken Record
Another downtown street is lain with bodies, young for thirty.
Feeling old.
I m going home.
But I just want a drink away from home, a couple shots
an ear to bend
between weekends.
Am I the only one without a nine to five
This Friday night?
There s way too many people here. Not even through the door
Hey, there s a fight
Amateur night
And the cigarette smokers form barricades.
- -
They need a fire marshal to get in the rave. Hey, hey.
And tonight is nothing special.
I m not wanting for this world to change.
Another downtown street is lain with minds too dumb for twenty.
All the same.
Smiling away.
Am I the only one who doesn t want a fight?
All my friends are weekends warriors but I ll be back.
~
Monday night.
