You might want to hit the road now.
Pack your paraphernalia.
Make sure nobody tails you.
I don’t suspect
You’ll like what comes next
Somehow.
You were a shining star tonight.
A thousand watts just blazing.
Perfectly amazing.
You brought that bling
That makes everything
Feel right.
But the curtain’s coming down.
You could make it back to town
Before the sun comes up, if you wanted to.
Don’t blame me and I won’t blame you.
We both know, when the deal’s been done,
The smart money’s on “Cut and run.”
When the party is over, do you still want to be
The last one standing here with me?
Taking out the garbage, sweeping up the debris,
And everything nobody wants to see?
There’s no cover charge, but it’s a long way from free
To be the last one standing here with me.
You ought to know this won’t be easy.
I can’t take direction.
I’m losing my connection.
I might not know
How far you go
To please me.
I saw a falling star today.
Dropped just like an anchor
Swallowed up in anger.
Used to thrill us
In the Milky
Way.
Nothing fades away
As fast as yesterday.
I won’t hold you to a promise you
Never really made, never really knew
Was a deal with the devil and a master thief.
Time steals everything but grief.
When the party is over, do you still want to be
The last one standing here with me?
Taking out the garbage, sweeping up the debris,
And everything nobody wants to see?
Wherever you go, in my memory
You’ll be the last one standing here with me.
