[Verse 1]
I stopped into a club, I thought I'd see a show
Everyone was there, at least everyone I know
Their knickers in a knot, their hands upon their heart
The best they'd ever seen, the greatest work of art
I wished that it was me

[Chorus]
It's bleaker than you think
I'm running out of ink
Give a guy a break
This is what it takes to drive a man to drink

[Verse 2]
A party at a friend's, Toronto's coolest scene
I thought I'd bring a tape to show them where I'd been
They listened for a while, the lyrics made them smile
They said that it was fine, although it's not their style
I said it wasn't me

[Verse 3]
Once upon a time, they couldn't get enough
Until I made it big and that's when it got rough
Disappointed, no, perhaps a bit surprised
To look them in the face and see it in their eyes
They wish it wasn't me
