In a Bar

I wanna meet a friend in a bar tonight

The evening is long, so long I hardly move

A can in my hand, a picture in my mind

A voice I need to hear, a laugh I'll need to show

We're lonely, babe, in a boat again

I need to see a friend tonight or see the people in a bar

I wish they could not see me at all

How I wish I could describe their pain

Or mine

The mystic light, the choir of smoke

The smell of wood, the pause, the choke

The dirty little world inside

That needs to come out, needs to come out

I wanna meet a friend in a bar tonight

The evening is long, long

If only I had that strength

To see those people all so lonely as me

All so lonely, all so lonely as me
