I'm at a function

Here with all my friends

It's been a good time

Shame it has to end

We're really swinging

We're all in the mood

That's when it hits me



All of a sudden

I don't feel so clever

I don't think I'll ever

Learn to face up to myself

I've got this feeling

That my hair's receeding

Am I on the receiving end of some bizarre new game



And as my mind expands I say



Out again

I'm bailing out again

I've bottled out again

I'm thinning out again

Deciding to go

Well I guess this goes to show

That I never want to know



About the high life

Just who went and came

And was that girl there?

You know what's-her-name

And did she kiss you?

Yes I felt the same

That's when it hits me



All of a sudden

I don't feel so clever

I don't think I'll ever

Learn to face up to myself

I've got this feeling

Was I too revealing

Am I on the ceiling

Can I face another night of this hell?



And now my mind expands again



So tell me why am I always the one

Who ends up being the figure of fun?

And tell me why am I so unaware

Each time my girlfriend's with someone upstairs



And now my mind expands again



Out again

I'm bailing out again

I've bottled out again

I'm thinning out again

Deciding to go

Well I guess this goes to show

That I never want to know



About the nightlife

Maybe it's my fault

When every time I

I get the same result

Just when I'm swinging

When I'm in the mood

That's when it hits me



All of a sudden

I don't feel so clever

I don't think I'll ever

Learn to face up to myself

I've got this feeling

That my hair's receeding

Am I on the receiving end of some bizarre new game?



All of a sudden

I don't feel so clever

I don't think I'll ever

Learn to face up to myself

I've got this feeling

Was I too revealing?

Am I on the ceiling?

Can I face another night?



All of a sudden

I don't feel so clever

I don't feel so groovy

I feel none too marvy

I feel a bit queasy

I don't feel so well

I don't feel too good

I feel ill
