A night in Toronto, going to three indie shows, listening to music in a kitchen, an after-hours club and walking home at 5 a.m.

Chorus:
Drinkin' Bourbon with John on a Friday night,
Talkin' 'bout love and loss,
And this strange world that we're livin' in,
Down in the concrete city ...

Verse 1:
Goin' from place to place;
Life everywhere.
Everything's so different here;
Don't know which way to turn.
Walkin' down the middle
Of the street,
In the middle of the night,
'Til a taxi cab comes along.

Verse 2:
Listening to music in the kitchen here,
Talkin' 'bout lyrics and life,
And how messed up things can get,
How people change but stay the same.
You can't ever get what you want.
You can't change people if you think you can.
They gotta change themselves;
And they're not who you think they are.

Chorus

Verse 3:
It hit me three sips ago.
Gotta move along.
Somehow still drinkin' it,
'Til the end of the cup.
Party all night long,
Spinnin' world, smilin' face.
That's just the way it is.
That's life.

Verse 4:
It hits me like a chocolate martini.
It hits me like a window pane.
Tricycles on the cupboard.
Believe me, I ain't lyin'.
In the quiet of the nighttime
I can't remember my plans.
The future's somewhere ahead of me,
But I can't see it right now.

Additional Part:
Don't go out to pick up.
It's all about the song.

Chorus
