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
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
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
