AMERICAN NIGHTCLUB 1999
The lights are flashing
There's a frat guy dancing in the middle of the floor
He's all alone but he's having more fun than me
All these girls look sad and beautiful clinging onto boys who never will love them
And all these boys look different than me
We all sing sweet dreams of rhythm and dancing
Sweet dreams of someone that we're not
We've all come here looking for something
Because we don't want what we've already got
The drinks start coming and I start talking
I have so much to say
Suddenly no one else knows quite as much as me
I've got jokes to tell and observations that I never get bored of making
But I think these girls get bored listening to me
We all sing sweet dreams of rhythm and dancing
Sweet dreams of someone that we're not
We've all come here looking for something
Because we don't want what we've already got
My head starts spinning
I start singing in the middle of the floor
I'm all alone but I hear my friends laughing at me
The room starts to empty and someone comes to get me
Because it's time to go
For the first time all night I don't want to leave
We all sing sweet dreams of rhythm and dancing
Sweet dreams of someone that we're not
We've all come here looking for something
Because we don't want what we've already got
