Matinee Lyrics - Posies

Ever get that feeling that you're just an act 

Even though you meant it as a fact 

And any old equation you thought that it would do 

And you didn't care which way you turned a screw 

But the curtain falls much harder 

When the stage is made of powder 

But the matinee plays on 

By the time they fill the seats up 

You will be gone 

Each time I save, my hopes up 

They've raised the price again 

But I'm looking for a Wednesday night friend 

I see through your tomorrow, baby 

Thanks for being kind 

But you wouldn't want to know my right mind 

There's got to be a 9 o'clock 

I think that I can get there 

But I'm having trouble staying awake that long 

And there's so many obstacles 

I've put here to distract me 

The keys must be scattered here among 

There's a matinee tomorrow 

There's a ticket you can borrow 

And stay for all three shows 

Your friends are gonna be there 

Even some that you don't know 

Not once did I envision 

I'd be so entertained 

Or that I'd want to see it again and again 

And never did I count on such pleasant company 

Or that the night would pass by so quickly 

And now, I want to stay till the end 

With you my friends, I want to stay till the end 

There's a matinee tomorrow 

There's a ticket you can borrow
