lyrics

I was just a stranger in a room that was too smoky
When I saw a long lost friend singing Karaoke
All that day I had this feeling that I wasn't human
That all changed because my friend was singing Randy Newman

Later on I realized that I had been sequestered
Quit my day job, packed my car, and finally headed westward
Found a floor to sleep on face to face with a good night light
Based my week around the Bay State Tuesday Open Mic Night

And when the ladies started dancing
That was an answer for the moment
I was surrounded by my best friends
My friends, this night might never end.

Got a job in which I drove around with people's dinners
Joined a band, I played the bass, I was just a beginner
Rode our bikes down to the park to play a game of stick ball
Watched the afternoon grow dark while leaning on a brick wall

And when the ladies started dancing
That was an answer for the moment
I was surrounded by my best friends
My friends, this night might never end.

I was thinking of a time
When we lived mostly at night
He was singing like a chime
She was shining like a light
I was thinking of this time
When our house was always full
It seems we did much more when there was nothing to do

And when the ladies started dancing
That was an answer for the moment
I was surrounded by my best friends
My friends, this night might never end.
This night might never end.
This night might never, this night might never, this night might never end.
