lyrics

It was a lonely Saturday night
I lost some heart during all my free time
There is smoke in the ashtray and a drink on the table
Its my big tent revival

And everything is where it should be, I fill the ice cube trays when I leave
‘Fore I sing for my supper, like a local Sinatra
Cause I never liked airplanes

And if you got some free time
I’ve uncovered some secrets about love

I just keep my hands in my coat now, I just do my best to protect myself
Everything’s just better in a small world
Stay out of the headlines, keep your hands in the dirt
Be careful with all your time, everyone gets a turn

When you tune out some of the days
And let yourself get carried away
You might realize that, there were never monsters under your bed

And if you got some free time
I’ve uncovered some secrets about love

I just keep my hands in my coat now, I just do my best to protect myself
Everything’s just better in a small world
Stay out of the headlines, keep your hands in the dirt
Be careful with all your time, everyone gets a turn

We all get a turn
We all get a turn
We all get a turn
We all get a turn
We all
