09.CENTRE STAGE
center stage, dim lights now, curtain falls
you were my obsession back when i thought i knew it all death on your shoulder, i was only laughing for you
but somewhere in the shadows i was crying cuz i knew it was true
linger in the alleyway with me,
i was never too busy, i was never too tough crawling back and forth in the gutter
all the stars in the sky were never bright enough
and you said
"everyday is different but basically it stays the same but baby when you're 29 you're gonna look so fine
i hope by then you still remember my name
and when we turn 40 if we've bored and we're lonely let's get married, let's get lost"
then you spun me round and round,
and round and round and round
centre stage i was alone you were gone
sunny california couldn't wait to kill another one walking wonder and it makes me wonder where will i go when i'm gone
and where will i go till then
oh and when... will i go?
linger in the alleyway with you,
someone thought we were lovers, someone thought we were friends,
and someone thought we hated each other i guess we fell for the weather
oh we were everything
and you said
"everyday is different, but basically it stays the same but baby when you're 29 you're gonna look so fine
i hope by then you still remember my name
and when we turn 40 if we're bored and we're lonely let's get a home and have a kid or two"
then you spun me round and round
and i spun around with you
i made my way through the dirt and you were full of surprises make way for the rich and the fury oh you were always in a hurry
and i'm still waiting for you a smile to put me to bed
