lyrics
Please excuse my interrupting
I’m not from here, and I’m lost
Someone told me this was somewhere
to be seen at any cost
Any cost
Is this where the scene is starting?
Am I in it, or has it passed?
Is this where I meet somebody?
Please don’t walk away so fast
Not so fast
I’ve been living on the quiet side of town
I’ve been searching for the party
but they change the secret password
when I’m around
Is this seat here really taken?
Can I join you for a spell?
Is the band onstage about to break?
Can you tell me how to tell?
How you tell
