ever get that feeling that you're just an act even though you meant it as a fact and any old equation you thought that it would do and you didn't care which way you turned a screw but the curtain falls much harder when the stage is made of powder but the matinee plays on by the time they fill the seats up you will be gone each time i save my hopes up they've raised the price again but i'm looking for a wednesday night friend i see through your tomorrow baby thanks for being kind but you wouldn't want to know my right mind there's got to be a 9 o'clock i think that i can get there but i'm having trouble staying awake that long and there's so many obstacles i've put here to distract me the keys must be scattered here among there's a matinee tomorrow there's a ticket you can borrow and stay for all three shows your friends are gonna be there even some that you don't know not once did i envision i'd be so entertained or that i'd want to see it again and again and never did i count on such pleasant company or that the night would pass by so quickly and now i want to stay till the end with you my friends i want to stay till the end there's a matinee tomorrow there's a ticket you can borrow
