Night by night, I try to make things happen
Whenever I'm alone
I go to places
Where just like me,
Are filled with lonely
Where smiles are full
But the hearts are empty
Or just like me
Only the lonely
Can I be your friend tonight
Can I feel the spaces between your eyes
And the chairs beside you
I may be a stranger
But so are you
So tell me your name
Pretend that I am someone you can
Possibly likely spend
Eleven minutes of masquerading madness
Tell me who you are
Don't get too far sometimes but
Don't need to fly that great of you
To really understand just how I feel
Night by night I try to make things happen
Or just like you and me
Only the lonely
Can I be your friend tonight
Can I feel the spaces between your eyes
And the chairs beside you
I may be a stranger
But so are you
So tell me your name
Pretend that I am someone you can
Possibly likely spend
Eleven minutes of masquerading madness
Tell me who you are
Don't get too far sometimes but
Don't need to fly that great of you
To really understand just how I feel
Night by night I try to make things happen
