American Nightclub 1999

(albüm: Sad Strange Beautiful Dream - 2015)

The lights are flashing
There's a frat guy dancing in the middle of the floor
He's all alone but he's having more fun than me
All these girls look sad and beautiful clinging onto boys who never will love them
And all these boys look different than me
Yeah all these boys look different than me

We all sing sweet dreams of rhythm and dancing and
Sweet dreams of someone that we're not
We've all come here looking for something
Because we don't want what we've already got

The drinks start coming and I start talking
And I have so much to say
Suddenly no one else knows quite as much as me
I've got jokes to tell and observations that I never get bored of making
But I think these girls get bored listening to me
Yeah I think these girls get bored listening to me

We all sing sweet dreams of rhythm and dancing and
Sweet dreams of someone that we're not
We've all come here looking for something
Because we don't want what we've already got
We all sing sweet dreams of rhythm and dancing and
Sweet dreams of someone that we're not
We've all come here looking for something
Because we don't want what we've already got

My head starts spinning
I start singing in the middle of the floor
I'm all alone but I hear my friends laughing at me
The room starts to empty and someone comes to get me
Because it's time to go
And for the first time all night I don't want to leave

We all sing sweet dreams of rhythm and dancing and
Sweet dreams of someone that we're not
We've all come here looking for something
Because we don't want what we've already got
We all sing sweet dreams of rhythm and dancing and
Sweet dreams of someone that we're not
We've all come here looking for something
Because we don't want what we've already got
