The Drink

Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favorite songAs your blather disappears
No longer wound up like a spring
Before you've had too much
Come back and focus againThe walls abandon shape
You've got a Cheshire cat grin
All blurring into one
This place is on a missionBefore the night owl
Before the animal noises
Closed circuit cameras
Before you're comatoseBefore you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
The beat goes round and round
The beat goes round and roundI never really got there
I just pretended that I had
What's the point of instruments
Words are a sawed off shotgunCome on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it outBefore you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
Just as you take the mic
Just as you dance, dance, danceJigsaw falling into place
There is nothing to explain
Regard each other as you pass
She looks back, you look back
Not just once, not just twiceWish away nightmare, wish away nightmare
You got a light, you can feel it on your back
A light, you can feel it on your back
Jigsaw falling into place
