Matinee
Posies

Ever get that feeling that you're just an act

Even though you meant it as a fact

And any old equation you thought that it would do

And you didn't care which way you turned a screw

But the curtain falls much harder

When the stage is made of powder

But the matinee plays on

By the time they fill the seats up

You will be gone

Each time I save, my hopes up

They've raised the price again

But I'm looking for a Wednesday night friend

I see through your tomorrow, baby

Thanks for being kind

But you wouldn't want to know my right mind

There's got to be a 9 o'clock

I think that I can get there

But I'm having trouble staying awake that long

And there's so many obstacles

I've put here to distract me

The keys must be scattered here among

There's a matinee tomorrow

There's a ticket you can borrow

And stay for all three shows

Your friends are gonna be there

Even some that you don't know

Not once did I envision

I'd be so entertained

Or that I'd want to see it again and again

And never did I count on such pleasant company

Or that the night would pass by so quickly

And now, I want to stay till the end

With you my friends, I want to stay till the end

There's a matinee tomorrow

There's a ticket you can borrow
