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!
