King for a night

I wander aimless  
in the midday heat
the world on my back  
just my own two feet  
and a ready roller  
for the road  
 
It’s two pm  
with my mouth real dry
I wander in  
to a pub near by
sink a few  
while they’re nice and cold  
 
Now I’ve had a scoop
and I’m feeling fine
the day is over  
but the night is mine
and I wonna dance  
 
and sing
I wonna fall in love  
for just tonight I’m king
beneath the stars above  
so baby take a chance  
 
Come dance with me under the setting sun  
Come dance with me
Let’s sing our hearts out  
to a coral sky
for just tonight, let’s be free
 
Come dance with me in the summer breeze  
sing old songs to the birds in the trees  
come dance with me
Let’s pour out our souls  
over my ready rolls  
Come get high with me
baby get high with me
 
Midnight strikes  
and it begins  
the start of coming things
somehow I’m back  
walking on the road  
 
My pockets light  
all out of smokes
hunger pains  
a phone that’s broke  
no one to share the cold
 
I take the back door in
to some restaurant slash cocktail bar  
swipe a side dish  
and the remains  
of the best meal I’ve eaten so far
and a couple of half empties  
left to waste  
 
The music’s good  
I’m getting groovy  
Tonight I’m staring  
in my very own movie  
so I go looking for a dance floor  
post haste  
 
Three am
I’ve met a friend  
both denying  
the night it’s end
Just two recent strangers  
standing behind a club’s locked door  
 
Late in the morning  
more like early afternoon  
to be fair  
I say my sweet goodbyes  
and leave the bed we shared
And that voice inside it asks
if I can do this any more
 
Come dance with me beneath  
sky that’s free  
Come dance with me  
Let’s sing the songs of the birds and bees  
Let’s be free
 
Come dance with me while the night is ours  
while the moment takes us
and we know who we are
come take a chance with me
 
Come talk all day in some bit of shade
hum the beat to our own parade  
blowing smoke rings at the sun
just for fun
Come get high with me
 
Blowing smoke rings at the sun
just for fun  
 
Blowing smoke rings at the sun
while the rabbit’s on the run
Blowing smoke rings at the sun
just for fun
