A hundred nights of fun and games
A thousand empty glasses
I feel it change

And stay the same
As each day passes
They invite me to their gatherings

In the finer parts of town
They seem attracted to my indifference
The irony just knocks me out


And I love them as if I love them
And they reciprocate with "help"

But I look up at these mirrors sometimes
And I can't see myself


They say that some are born to burn
And some are born to give
They say that people live and learn

Some people only live and live

You don't know that I come here

But if you did, you would know why
So we close our eyes


You didn't notice me
As I passed you on the stairs
How could you ever guess

Looking at my face
How closely I share your taste
How well I know your place

Even the clothes you wear
I've seen them when you're not there


You say that you can win win win
If you know how to play the game
But while you're out there playing you see

There's something you should know
She spends your money
She spends your money on me
