Once In A While

(album: Sports Day At Killaloe - 2009)

I go to someone's house late at night
I need no rest for my head, need an escape from the light
I sleep all day and I dance through the night
I try to fight all the devils inside

I'm on the streets and in the clubs here in town
Don't wanna miss all the places being turned upside down
I love this feeling and I love my old town
I'm a part of it, I'm a guy of renown

Once in a while the road is steep and narrow winding
Once in a while I play the game not knowing what I'm really doing
But when I listen to the sound to get my feet back on the ground
It's the sound that keeps me going another mile

I won't miss a single phone call today
My home is not made for any overnight stay
I leave this house and I cut my own way
I can't be stopped, 'cause I refuse to obey

The dance floor's packed, it's a treat for the eyes
Tonight I do ignore compromise
I'm sick of all that cheat and disguise
I won't accept any well-meaning lies

I like to roam and to act a bit weird
I won't put off my plans, 'cause I live now and here
So search for me, when I fail to appear
And bring good news and a sixpack of beer
