Goodnight for real

There's a band on stage tonight
And every note they play turns it's back to you
But still you wanna add them to the sad list of things you've said "Yes" to
And they don't wanna save your life
They just want to distract you for a while
And the new dance craze is the same as the old one: The unsustainable lifestyle

There's only so much oxygen
Left in the room

When they ask you about The Great Smoothing Down, will you tell them what you saw?
Heavy-lidded eyes pledging allegiance to the soft hands that come from living above the law
And irony was the only weapon on your shelf, but you were too embarrassed to use it to defend yourself

There's only so much oxygen
Left in the room
