Testo Matinee

Ever get that feeling
That you're just enough
Even though you know it as a fact
And in the old equation
You thought that it would do
You didn't care which way you turned the screw

But the curtain falls much harder And the stage is made of powder
But the matinee plays on
By the time they fill the seats up
You will be gone

Each time I save my hopes up
They've raised the price again
And I'm looking for a Wednesday night friend
I'll see through you tomorrow, baby
Thanks for being kind
But you wouldn't want to know a mind like mine

There's got to be a 9 o'clock
I think that I can get there
I'm having trouble staying awake that long And there's so many obstacles I put here to distract me
The keys must be scattered here among

There's a matinee tomorrow
There's a ticket you can borrow
Stay for all three shows
Your friends are going to be there
Even some that you don't know

Not once did I invision
I'd be so entertained
Or that I'd want to see it again and again
And never did I count on
Such pleasant company
Or that the night would pass by so quickly

And now
I want to stay til the end
With you my friends
I want to stay til the end

There's a matinee tomorrow
There's a ticket you can borrow
