Night After Night Lyrics
I wear a smile
I mask what is true
I feel so vile
I feel so blue
The stage is set
And the house lights dim
Put out my cigarette
In this glass of gin
I can’t stand up
Don’t want no more
I’ve had enough
Forgot the score
I’ll walk the boards
For one last time
I will fall on my sword
For nickels and dimes
Night after night
I sing the same song
My throat feels tight
How can I go on?
I feel so fake
As I bow and grin
How much more can I take
In this circus ring?
It’s the last call
You took your cut
Your pound of meat
To feed your big fat gut
And mouth that cheats
I played your game
Now leave me alone
Forget my name
I won’t answer the phone
Night after night
I sing the same song
My throat feels tight
How can I go on?
I feel so fake
As I bow and grin
How much more can I take
In this circus ring?
It’s the last call
I stand in the wings
I’ve done it all
For the poor for kings
I’ve done it all
Life’s one big act
I can’t feel my face
The mirror’s cracked
Christ, get me outta this God forsaken place!
Night after night
I sing the same song
My throat feels tight
How can I go on?
I feel so fake
As I bow and grin
How much more can I take
In this circus ring?
It’s the last call
Night after night
I sing the same song
My throat feels tight
How can I go on?
Night after night
Night after night
Last call
Last call
