you can stand at a show all night
somewhere in the back just watching the bands
you can try to pretend nothing's wrong
& clap for the songs
or drive all night for no reason
just drive til the tape's done
& leave everything to the long long road
to take you home
or talk on the phone all night
& tell the whole story to an answering machine
or put everything on a song
just put everything on some song on the radio
at least a song won't cheat
at least a song won't leave
