Just One More

The fine life is a beautiful thing
The caviar and the diamond ring
It goes all night, I see the writing on the wall

The bright lights of a big soiree
The satin glows and the tango sways
It goes all night, I see the writing on the wall

As for me I like a dark smoky bar
A shot of whiskey and a cheap cigar
It goes all night, I see the writing on the wall

Another quarter and the jukebox cries
I love the sound as the record sighs
It goes all night, I see the writing on the wall

No necesito la vida rica
Estoy contento contigo
'Cause in the end we all go the same place
And I'll be happy with what I know

I like the girls that go cha cha cha
And when the band is playing wah wah wah
It goes all night, I see the writing on the wall

Another drink and we'll all be fine,
A little music and we start to shine
It goes all night, I see the writing on the wall

No necesito la vida rica
Estoy contento contigo
'Cause in the end we all go the same place
So I'll be happy with what I know

Well I'm back out on the road again lost among the city lights
We're stepping it up harder just to make it to the show tonight
With yesterday's antics still playing in my head
Another day's upon us so let's do it all again

It's just another town another day another year
We got to wait 'til five o'clock before we crack a beer
Somewhere it's gotta be five o'clock yeah that's what we say
It's all just a game to keep ourselves sane

Drink smoke drink smoke this is what we do
Drink smoke drink smoke playing it for you

Born to roam here we go yeah
Another city and another day
The road is my home all alone yeah
Out on the streets is where we gotta stay

Well we barely see the light of the sun with all the midnight fun
It's coming down on my head I feel it
But the music is part of my soul
So I jump back in headfirst my arms around it

Outside tonight I don't think there's really anything going on around here

Well the first time that I went out on my own
I was a young man almost seventeen right down to the day
Well I packed up all my things
Grabbed my bag and kissed my mother
And I told her that I'd be back some day

So I jumped into the back of an 18-wheeler headed north
Destination didn't even ask
With the wisdom that my father gave me
Ringing in my head so clearly
Son this world's gonna kick you in the ass

I wanna go there and I'm not scared
Our time's just begun oh yeah
Life goes by so damn quickly for me
Wanna have some fun

Now looking back on all the days gone by
I sit and wonder what'd be like if I'd never went away
Would I see the world the way I do
The memories that brought me to
This place that I now call my home today

So beat my head beat my head
When I feel my whole world falls apart
In the end I'll be alright

Wasn't too long ago that you could go to a show
Without trying to be somebody you're not
Now the tables are turned and you're getting burned
Don't let 'em tell you it rocks
It's all about what you wear the colour of your hair
And how many tattoos you got on your arm
So how did we get here where'd it all go wrong

Flying through the airwaves coming into your home
All the suits in Hollywood are gonna roll in all the dough

Tell me that you need it tell me that you feel it this is the new sensation
Come on and just try it you know you can't fight it this is gonna sweep the nation

I think back to the day when all the bands used to play
Without giving a shit about what was in
Now it has changed scenes rearranged
Let's start it over again
What really matters to me so easy to see
It's staring us right in the face
We gotta put it behind get back in line
We gotta save this dying race

I don't think you feel it I don't think you need it this is no new sensation
I don't think you need it I don't think you feel it why don't change the fucking station

Silently approaching creeping through the night
Shadows below the radar hide from unsuspecting light
You can't see it coming but you feel it near
The eminent destruction pulls you down into the fear

Now the fight has just begun
The battle is not over
You're scared it's been won

Find the enemy (silent)
Lying in your bed

I can see the dark clouds looming up above the land
Picking up on the signals of connotations
I don't understand
They tell me things nightmares are made of
Pictures straight from hell
Try to put it all in a bag by the wayside
But I know I will fail

Drinking for a living, that's just what i do,
When i'm not with you,
My heart goes to bed

End of the bar, that's just where i'll be,
Don't try and come find me
Cause i'm already dead

With one eye tied upon the open road
I feel your presence and i can't let it go
It moves so slowly as it creeps into my mind,
Steals every breath i hav and leaves my heart behind

Wanna know what you're feeling if your feeling alone
I wanna hear if you still care
The last time i remember you was the last time i wasn't scared

When the nights start fading and the mornin' arrives
I wanna still feel you around
Will you creep into my head again and pick me up off the ground
Once more and tell mewhat you're fighting for

Gotta try gotta try for tomorrow
When you can't see through to day
There's nowhere left to stay

Sometimes i feel like im out here all alone
Just one in million stuck with no place left to go

The fear steps up to me with every move that i make
Following close behind my soul it wants to take

I hear the rumor mill is turning
To try and stop it is a waste of time
Who fucked who will be on the front page
The local air is thick with painted lies
Truth in disguise

When you go out they'll be watching (eyes on you)
I feel them all around
Come tomorrow and they'll all start talking,
In this little town
Now watch me drown

Accusations and assumptions
Will fill you up and start to cloud your mind
The room is filled with stagnant conversation
I see right through it with discerning eyes
Beyond the lies
