You said"don't wait updon't count the minutes."

So here I am watching paint fade from the walls.

On the tvplanes are dancing to the national anthem

So the whole world knows it's long past last call.



I sat through tarzan swinging through the jungle

And godzilla crushing buildings and all.

The light from this tv can make it all look so easy.

It makes this room feel incredibly small.



Last calllast call.

Now I've heard it all.

The excuses get weaker as the stories get tall.

You step off with the wrong footthe drunk fool at the ball.

WellI'm not up for dancing.

I'm up past last call.



Clock keeps on talkin'.

It says"fool go to bed --

Why waste the wordsthey've already been said."

But I can't shut my eyes with this face in my head

So tonight I plan on clearing my mind.



I could lay my head in the arms of the sofa

And wait for headlights to roll across these walls.

But when your key finds the dooryour feet find the floor

They'll be greeted by empty rooms and empty halls.
