as the walls go 'round - jonny
A love letter to the nights of drunken revelry
Lyrics:
1,2,3 go the glasses down, catch my seat as the walls go round,
Called this "a night to remember", oh my,
I don't think anyone will
I stay out for a mite too long, and the words of a distant song
return to me, and they sound all wrong,
but I sung and I'm singing still...
And so I sidled up my chair, as if I had something to say,
but every anecdote and memory go on their merry way.
Though "I don't care", I really do, and all the gibberish I say
Goes on playing, and replaying, and replaying at the end of the day
Always try to remember this, every lie is a poison kiss
but I've had a few, and so I'm remiss -
or is that who I really am?
Not at all, and I'll tell you why, if you fall - well at least you've tried
And just that you know is half of the trial
It's not our faults on which we're defined
And so I sidled up my chair, as if I had something to say,
but every anecdote and memory go on their merry way.
Though "I don't care", I really do, and all the gibberish I say
Goes on playing, and replaying, and replaying at the end of the day
