Take Me Away

I remember looking forward to it

Throwing back the whiskey in rounds

Warming up my body for a typical night on the town

Then I was talking to a friend of a friend

While my peripherals were eyeing the door

I've never felt so lonely around so many people before

I don't know how

They can talk over music so loud

I feel like just another face in the crowd

Can someone tell the DJ to settle down

I'm out twelve dollars and change

For a couple of ounces of something that will make me feel strange

What am I doing here

Please, love of my life

Won't you hurry, come and take me away

Now I'm just one more overdressed passenger

On the train back to the valley from Vine

Wondering if any of the others left

For the same reason at the same time

I don't know how

They can talk over music so loud

I feel like just another face in the crowd

Can someone tell the DJ to settle down
