Another Shirley Temple Another Caine and Able There's nothing out the window And nothing on the table This life is like a sad list Strong across the Nation If I miss you at the soundcheck I'll see you at the station There's a beast inside of me And he's not bad company But he speaks in tongues I can never understand He says it's one more show and a penny for the band Keep everybody dancing Keep everybody spending I know I am not a good man But I can keep pretending I made it in a doorway Your dress is like a dark vale But I'm not going your way I'm going back to heartache With a bottle of Burgundy Where she waits on the balcony With a northern wish and a daisy in her hand To send me all her love and a penny for the band There's a beast inside of me And I miss my family All these pages and these stages made of sand Still, it's one more show and a penny for the band One more show and a penny for the band
