lyrics

Amateur Hour

Why must it feel like the first time
With every step I take towards the light
Stumbling home on the cheap wine
Lonely as a satellite
I see it more but understand less
I fail you better each day you’re around
In various states of undress
I keep returning to the lost and found
There’s nobody in the control tower
The house is packed tonight
For amateur hour

Your act seems so familiar
I swear I’ve seen you work this room before
The trick is not to get bewildered
By the bodies pouring through the door
They’ve turned on the phantom power
The night can feel so long
At amateur hour

And when it’s over, they’ll be no applause
But I’ll know you gave it all your might
So put away your fangs and sharp claws
Everyone here’s dying to get it right

In here we all will be be devoured
By the love that brings us back
Every night
Every night
Every night
It’s amateur hour
It’s amateur hour for you and I
It’s amateur hour
It’s amateur hour for you and I
