A little after twelve, the function suite was full

 With people I had never seen before

 Ripped up ticket stubs, confetti'ed on the floor

 It dawned on me I’d seen it all before

 Cool your beans my son, you look a fucking mess

 No one’s getting out of here, tonight

 Hit that button there, the one that just says wrong

 We’ll lose our lives through all our favorite songs

Bridge

Go forward to later you look light on your feet

 When you whirled in the room I was nailed to my seat

I‘m like a prisoner getting ready to talk

 I feel the blood in my hands and the threat in your walk

Chorus

And suddenly it lifts the roof off the place

 That keeps a fault in my step, and a grin on my face

It can’t contain me but you needn't on me

 Get me back in my box, and snap the branches off me

A little after four, the function suite is dead

 And I am just a ripped up ticket stub

 Here’s a helping hand, a voice that’s far too close

 And I am up and on my broken limbs

Bridge
