It smells like new cologne in the club tonight  The band's looking at me I said this place would be alright  We will keep it clean with minimal casualties  I've got on my game face, I've got on my war paint they don't know.    We will have a laugh and we will have a time  And I will sleep it off outside in the van tonight  If that were only true, oh man why can't that be true?   Would I make it different, would I make it better I don't know.    In a cheap hotel the window unit hums  With salt water in the air and the thickness in my lungs  And all that beige cocaine running through my veins  My heart's in double time and the thoughts I have are hardly mine.    I will rise past noon with a battle in my head  And go and brush my teeth and make sure I'm properly stretched.  I'll tie my converses tight, presenting myself right  It's 90 percent image and 10 percent figuring out who can drive  Can you drive?     On the way back home we will make our plans  In the front two seats we talk shit about other bands.  Nothing will stop us now, no nothing can stop us now  And in the back of my head I think of my wife reading in our bed
