Another Late Night

there's a time when the race
eats away the feet
the dripping sweat puddles in remorse

another vodka tonic
and another burning butt
another simulation of discourse

we tell our tales of conquest
we glorify our times
and we know that movie life is not a farce

in the drunken dirty mirror
we smile cuz we are pretty
the fun is high, the inner peace is sparce

   another late nite lost
   another late friend passed
   another chance to find it all again
   another late nite

swordfights are difused
with a little liquid peace
noone wants to watch things come undone

tired married withered
boredom murdered lust
daydreams were distilled to jars of fun

kindness had its moment
a tear was wiped away
a shoulder was a pillow for the night

misery found its roomate
who changed her into glee
he knew something that could stop the blight

   another late nite lost
   another late friend passed
   another chance to find it all again
   another late nite
