We're all here
But soon the party will be over
And tonight's cocaine will be the catalyst for tomorrow's tears
And maybe you saw the one you dream about
Walking hand and hand with another lover
So you drown your sorrow's in the bed of someone you don't even care about
With stale smoke in the air
And the taste of cheap beer on your tongueV
That first bitter kiss
Brings back the flood of pain from your first broken heart
And once you believed
That love would last forever
But now all you're left with is one more stain on the sheets
A pale promise to call next week
And a sinking feeling that what once was sacred has now become just a game
But before you take that one last step
Before you quit believing in yourself
Why don't you give your faith
Give your faith just one more chance?
Maybe your story Is just one of lack of hope
Trying to make ends meet
But you never quite make the grade
For the woman
it's baby's breath, monthly pains, and his 'another night out with the boys'
For the man it's just another 9 to 5
With no end never in site
And when the paycheck comes it's always far far too clim
And that lottery ticket you bought with your lunch money
Just reminds you that you're a losing man
And when the day is over and you're weary
You believe your love is all that's left
But making love's become an empty motion
Cause you're too drained by the struggle
And in the morning you can't even look each other in the eyes
Because you're too scared to admit your love's become a lie
Now it's far past midnight
The valium and marijuana made you loose
And the alcohol's done its duty
So you can lose yourself in the groove
Now look right next to you is another battered friend
And somehwere near is someone you desire
Could you dig way down deep and find the courage
To do the things you always meant?
And to say the things you always wanted?
When the morning light meets your tired eyes
Will you look back on tonight
As another opportunity that you missed
When you could have shown yourself?
Cause we're all far far far too human
And we all need to feel those warm, warm vibrations of love
And so, so many times I've been the one that's down
Down on my knees
And when I'm down the pretty girls never, never, never look my way
And sometimes even a sinner needs communion
And with all these open wounds why is it I never see tears in your eyes?
1993 - Caeser Pink
