Marillion - 100 Nights lyrics

A thousand empty glasses

I feel it change

And stay the same

As each day passes

They invite me to their gathering

In the finer parts of town

They seem attracted to my indifference

The irony just knocks me out

And I love them as if I love them

And they reciprocate with help

But I look up at these mirrors sometimes

And I can't see myself

They say that some are born to burn

And some are born to give

They say that some people live and learn

Some people only live and live

You don't know that I come here

If you did you would know why

So we close our eyes

You didn't notice me

As i passed you on the stairs

How could you ever guess

Lookin' at my face

How closely I share your taste

How well I know your place

Even the clothes you wear

I've seen them when you're not there

You say that you can win win win

If you know how to play the game

But while you're out there playing you see

There's something you should know

She spends your money

She spends your money on me
