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
