All the hours spent alone
Crafting these anti-poems
All the blisters on my thumbs
Rehearsing till they are numb
Got a show tonight
Pack the gear up tight
Harness stage fright
Not going on till midnight
Early on no ones arrived
Get a drink to pass the time
Tune the strings and run the lines
Anticipating landing on cloud 9
Got a show tonight
The lineups quite a sight
Burning feet will alight
Stage even has some height
Getting out getting around
Lugging my stuff all around town
Cutting loose and feeling wild
Living for your grooving smiles
Well now it's almost time to start
Getting hyped to do my part
Curtains rise up in my mind
A big thumbs up to the sound guy
Got a show tonight
Kill the house lights
Leave the blinking brights
Gotta set the mood right
