Something About This Night

I can see them, see them forming perfect lines Ladies dressed up to the nines Gentlemen and Philistines I can hear them, everyone's a critic here Whispering it loud and clear Is this the failure of the year? [Pre-Chorus] Oh, in any other career you would know Know where you're going to In any other career, they would show you respect Oh, but here they're never going to [Chorus] Something about this night That you just can't forget They sip champagne, smoke cigarettes Win or lose, you wouldn't bet Cause there is something about this night All actors call to one Chorus line, prepare for song Is it too late to change everyone? There's only one night to impress unreasonable expectations Something about this night, oh Something about this night With only one night to address unreasonable expectations Something about this night, oh Something about this night [Verse 2] I can see them reaching for their daggers now Hoping I would land face down Ready to paint me as a clown I can feel them yawning, calling for the end Oh, they're sharpening their pens Using all my blood instead of ink [Pre-Chorus] Oh, in any other career you would know Know where you're going to In any other career, they would show you respect Oh, but here they're never going to [Chorus] Something about this night That you just can't forget They sip champagne, smoke cigarettes Win or lose, you wouldn't bet Cause there is something about this night All actors call to one Chorus line, prepare for song Is it too late to change everyone? There's only one night to impress unreasonable expectations Something about this night, oh Something about this night With only one night to address unreasonable expectations Something about this night, oh Something about this night [Bridge] It's a fight, it's a shove, it's a labour of love It's a journey to know where you've seen It's over, it's thankless, I've taken my chances Does anyone know what I mean? If there's ever a time I should stay low If there's ever a time I should say no Waiting for six hundred people to make up their minds Is why there's something about this night [Chorus] Yeah, 'cause there is something about this night That you just can't forget They sip champagne, smoke cigarettes Win or lose, you wouldn't bet Cause there is something about this night All actors call to one Chorus line, prepare for song Is it too late to change everyone? There's only one night to impress unreasonable expectations Something about this night, oh Something about this night With only one night to address unreasonable expectations Something about this night, oh Something about this night, oh Something about this night Something about this night
