100 Nights

Marillion

A hundred nights of fun and games 
A thousand empty glasses 
I feel it change 
And stay the same
As each day passes 

They invite me to their gatherings 
In the finer parts of town 
They seem attracted to my indifference 
The irony just knocks me out 

And I love them as if I love them 
And they reciprocate with "help"
But I look up at these mirrors sometimes 
And I can't see myself 

They say that some are born to burn 
And some are born to give 
They say that people live and learn 
Some people only live and live 

You don't know that I come here
But if you did, you would know why 
So we close our eyes 

You didn't notice me 
As I passed you on the stairs
How could you ever guess
Looking at my face
How closely I share your taste 
How well I know your place 
Even the clothes you wear
I've seen them when you're not there 

You say that you can win win win
If you know how to play the game 
But while you're out there playing you see 
There's something you should know 
She spends your money 
She spends your money on me
