Somewhere between the darkness and light |
|
Faces all glow but its not too bright |
|
Civilization, its all about knives and forks |
|
Isn't she here? What time is it now? |
|
Is this the right place? Do I fit with her crowd? |
|
I'm gonna be a civilized man someday |
|
Part of me wants to jump and shout |
|
Part of me wants to tear it down |
|
I thought you might prefer the cabernet |
|
Civilization, its all about sex |
|
Havin' a ball in a padded banquet |
|
I'm gonna be that really cool guy someday |
|
The waiter looks me over |
|
Would you like cream or sugar? |
|
I don't know - what was I supposed to say |
|
She wonders if I'll notice |
|
I should have brought some roses |
|
Her plate is full, she hasn't eaten all day |
|
Glasses collect we order some booze |
|
She looks at me, I stare at her shoes |
|
Mature situations, maybe a broken heart |
|
Maybe I ought to pay the bill |
|
Maybe she thinks I never will |
|
A million things that cross a woman's mind |
|
Just be yourself, well that's what they say |
|
I barely know who I was yesterday |
|
I'm gonna be that civilized guy someday |
|
Good friends and conversations |
|
The rise and fall of nations |
|
A moments glory and they've had their day |
|
And on my high school folder |
|
I drew a big gorilla |
|
Something familiar, something far, far away |
|
Somewhere between the darkness and light |
|
She touches my hand, she don't seem to mind |
|
We can go home, we can be civilized |
