lyrics

The lonely drinks at the hotel bar late at night
Sneering at the first person you can get to catch your eye
Then waving limp wristed at them
Not on purpose
But from the muscle relaxant quality of alcohol you’ve already consumed
What a long day
The wallpaper turning into topographic maps of anywhere
But in that spot with an arrow pointed at your head
Instead of saying 'you are here'
It says 'you are stuck'
And that constant humming of the lights
And the deafening pulse of your wristwatch
Despite the fact that it is digital
The bad coffee
The long stories that avoid beginnings and ends

Stains on the chairs from last week’s wedding reception
In the banquet hall where everyone sits with name-tags
And suicidal grins for a breath of fresh air
That's what has brought you to this bar this evening
The first conference of many
The smell of overcooked pasta and ketchup wafting from the flapping doors towards a giant kitchen far away from prying eyes

So you sneer
So you sneer

So you sneer at the first person you can get to catch your eye
But he didn't deserve it
And he definitely didn't deserve the faggy wave you just gave him
So you try to catch his eye again so you can sneer at him
But he won't look back
Now you look really gay

So you sneer
So you sneer
