The Prize

the night of a thousand verses

one thousand friends said have you heard

what we expected



we are all working late and

waiting to win a prize we don't deserve

and live to collect it



can't you see i'm weary

maybe this news can wait



the night of a thousand verses

one thousand strivers strain to hear

a voice that's left us



and the magazines still have to sell us

twelve mastergeniuses a year

it's all so shameless



can't you see i'm weary

maybe this news can wait



can't you see i'm blurry

maybe this news can wait



maybe there was a message in it

i don't know where you hid it

maybe there was a piece that will fit

i don't know where to fit it



tell me what kind of prize can you get

where you don't want to win it



can't you see i'm weary

maybe this news can wait



can't you see i'm blurry

maybe this blues can wait
