lyrics

ANOTHER NIGHT'S DISTRACTION

She was a poor girl
Never had a lot to do with money
Never had a lot to do with loving
Loving herself

He was a rich man
Always had a lot to do with money
Always had a lot to do with loving
Loving himself

One night he saw her
Thinking to himself that he would buy her
Thinking to himself what he would say
Say to take her heart

Another worthless one night’s stand
Another night’s distraction
Another night of playing games
To him all the same

And then he kissed her
Thinking all the time that it was nothing
Thinking all the time that it was only
Only a lark

Then it happened
The thing he’d always feared, it finally happened
The thing he’d always feared, he fell in love
And came apart
Came apart

When she left him
Standing in a pool of revelation
Standing like a beggar in the dark
She left his heart
Just another lonely night’s distraction
Just another lonely night’s distraction
