Last night I had too much to drink

Sitting in a club with so many fools

Playing to rules

Trying to impress but feeling rather empty

I had another drink (Drink a? ?drink? a drink a drink)
(Ah)

What a way to spend that evening

They all turn up with their friends

Playing the game

They're in the scene I should have been

Far away (Away away away away away)

I open the door to an empty room
