Saturday Night In The City

Lovers on the street
Blisters on my feet
From walking around a city 
I barely know 
Looking for somebody 
I don’t know
That wants to know me

Free tickets could be mine 
Promise young attractive guys
That want to see a part of me 
Thats always been 
For my eyes only 
They ask me expectantly 
A show for a show
And I just keep on walking

I settle for a cup of tea
In a Starbucks that’s about to close
Because the city never sleeps 
But coffee is replaced with alcohol
At 10 pm on a Saturday night

The people I want to meet
Are out living a life 
They’ll regret Tomorrow morning
When they’re at church 
Swearing ‘never again’
And keeping that promise
Til Friday

I’ll be kicked out soon 
And I’ll be back at home 
in fifteen minutes 
Wishing this night 
Could’ve been filled with something 
Other than too tight shoes,
too weak tea,
And lust filled boys 
Hitting on me
