I'm a small time player in a big time game
And that's really all I'm worth
I think I've trod these boards before,
Is it more than I deserve?
I must have been a killer in a former life,
It makes no sense this punishment you see
It used to be magnificent
To be constantly on call
Now I'm nearly twice as glad
Just to be alive at all,
The real people in these towns,
Are kicking off their shoes tonight without me
Oh you are awful but I love it,
You are awful but no, no, no, you're the best!
And I'm the worst I've ever been,
And I'm waiting for my time to leave you far behind
I never cared for anything,
I imagine people guessed
They wanted me to play along,
It's not something I'd suggest
It doesn't really matter what you achieve,
As long as you enjoy yourself, apparently
Oh you are awful but I love it,
You are awful but no, no, no, you're the best!
And I'm the worst I've ever been,
And I'm waiting for my time to leave you far behind
I thought I'd save my life,
Save it up till I could find it useful
I thought I'd bide my time,
Save it up till I could find it useful
Just another day, just another week, just another month
And I'm already halfway out to lunch!
