Another Warm Body
I had the time of my life
With the band last night
The fire going, The drinks were flowing
And I was alright
We played some music
And the room came alive
Then when we walked off stage
I went home, back into the night
But then a storm came to town and clouded the light
I’m cold, wet, alone and drowning in fright
I need another warm body
I don’t care if it’s folly
I need you, to keep me company
Cuz once the people go home only I stay alone
Id take any other warm body
To join me when I get lonely
If your heart beats, then It could be lovely
Then I looked inside and flipped on a light
The kid was lost in the dark, but now he’s alright
One day I opened my eyes
To see my own grand prize
I got everything that I’d ever wanted
But would that suffice?
Then I saw the secret
Shining so bright
The thing that I was missing
Was peace in my own way of life
Then when the show is over I’m alone for the night
But I’m not drowning in panic, cuz I know I’m alright
Don’t need another warm body
I would care if it’s folly
I need me, to keep me company
Cuz once the people go home I embrace being alone
Can’t take just any warm body
To join me when I get lonely
Because one day
The right one will find me
Then I looked inside and flipped on a light
The kid was lost in the dark, but now he’s alright
