Drinkin' again.
Thinking of when you loved me.
Having a few.
Wishing that you were here.

Making the rounds.
Buying a round for strangers.
Just being a fool,
'cause I keep hoping, hoping you'll appear.

Sure I can borrow a smoke.
and maybe tell some joker a joke,
but who is gonna laugh, who is gonna laugh
oh, at my broken heart?

And I'm drinking again.
Thinking of when you loved me.
And I'm tryin' to get home
with nothing, nothing but a memory.

Yes, I'm dying to get home,
dying to get home.
And I got nothin' but a bottle of beer,
and just my memory.

Well it took a little time
But I guess you finally learned
That promises get broken
And bridges do get burned
You've been siftin' through the ashes
Just tryin' to find a flame
Holdin' on to nothin'
You're a victim of the game

You were standin' way too close
To see it all fall apart
And there were things you couldn't hear
'Cause you were listenin' with your heart
But you can't say I didn't warn you
Now there's no one else to blame
There's no one quite as blind
As a victim of the game

And it don't matter who you are
It treats everyone the same
All you need's a heart
To be a victim of the game

Oh you know when I look into your eyes
I can really feel the pain
Starin' in the mirror
At a victim of the game

Beautiful "nocturnal lover" feeling about this ... It appealed to me immediately.

thank you my warm and sensitive friends. I love this song, but thank God it's only a song and I'm still sober after 17 yrs / March 12th, 1989. YEAH!!! (don't want my long distance buddies to freak out and start thinkin I may have fallen off the wagon...no way Jose. I'm too high on my life to not "be all there" to experience every minute!)
