Musical Chairs

Find myself outside your door
I don’t know if you’re there at all
seems like I have been here before
seems that I’ll be here some more
Evening’s come and you get bored

Musical chairs inside my head
Round I go, so easily lead
No escape from a well known tune
Once it starts it stops too soon
And I’m left standing

I go left and you go right
An endless spiral every night
Who will follow who will lead
who will call and who will heed
Guess you know now what I need

Musical chairs inside my head
Round I go, so easily lead
No escape from a well known tune
Once it starts it stops too soon
And I’m left standing

Saw you smiling on your way
to just where I could not say
Whirling through a crowded room
I’m still waiting in the gloom

Had enough, I’m going home
Unlike you I go alone
So goodbye to you my friend
At least until the next weekend
When the dancing starts again

Musical chairs inside my head
Round I go, so easily lead
No escape from a well known tune
Once it starts it stops too soon
And I’m left standing
