Long Gone West - Showtime

Alison looks in the mirror and says to the girl there
You wanna go out on the town?
"There's a club if you'd like to go"
Plays on the radio
Alison closes her eyes
In this glittering city
The girls are so pretty
The boys just seem so far away
So she swallows her pain with a glass of champagne and thinks
Maybe some beautiful day
Someone will say

Alison, time to take the stage
Your fans are calling for you, babe
So zip your high boots on
And give them all
The loving that they crave
Alison, time to take the stage
It's Friday night
The city waits
Put your eyeliner on
And hit the town
Or find a cozy grave

Alison walks out into the night
Looking to get a life
Courage you got to hold on
Every couple that passes by
Makes Ali wanna die quickly
And get to the point
When she gets to the club
God the music's so dumb
She thinks, this is the cruelest abuse
So she drowns her disdain with a swig of champagne and thinks
Do what you came here to do
Alison says

Come on its time to take the stage
Your life is calling for you, babe
Pretend you're having fun
And maybe you'll just fool yourself this once
Alison time to take the stage
It's Friday night your public waits
So take the iceberg head on
It's calling for you
In the darkness of the dance floor
She pretends that she's not alone
All at once, Alison almost feels she belongs
Then oh it's gone
Like a beautiful blur
Alison almost sees the happiness in the world
Oh this world
How is this crowded place just the loneliest place of all?
