I  stand on this stage, one  empty page
Nothing  to tell, so  little to sell
 Won’t you come  on in my  old friends and sit  down
 I’m just  what you see,  there’s nothing  to me
 A piece  of the end  that never  has been
 Won’t you come  on in my  old friends and sit  down
 Can’t you tell  by my clothes  I never made  it
 Can’t you hear  that my songs  just won’t sing
 Can’t you see  in my eyes  that I hate  it
 Wasting twenty  four years  on a dream
 Thanks for coming by to sit and watch me die
 God knows friends i might there’s three more shoulders tonight
 Won’t you come on in my old friends and sit down
 Thanks for coming by...
