Lyrics
0:20The night of a thousand verses
0:22One thousand friends said have you heard
0:27What we expected
0:32We are all working late and
0:35Waiting to win a prize we don't deserve
0:40And live to collect it
0:43Can't you see I'm weary
0:48Maybe this news can wait
0:57The night of a thousand verses
1:00One thousand strivers strain to hear
1:05A voice that's left us
1:09And the magazines still have to sell us
1:12Twelve mastergeniuses a year
1:17It's all so shameless
1:20Can't you see I'm weary
1:26Maybe this news can wait
1:30Can't you see I'm blurry
1:35Maybe this news can wait
1:43Maybe there was a message in it
1:47I don't know where you hid it
1:49Maybe there was a piece that will fit
1:53I don't know how to fit it
1:56Tell me what kind of prize can you get
1:59Where you don't want to win it
2:55Maybe there was a message in it
2:59I don't know where you hid it
3:01Maybe there was a piece that will fit
3:05I don't know how to fit it
3:07Tell me what kind of prize can you get
3:11Where you don't want to win it
3:25Can't you see I'm weary
3:31Maybe this news can wait
3:34Can't you see I'm blurry
3:40Maybe this blues can wait
The night of a thousand verses One thousand friends said have you heard What we expected We are all working late and Waiting to win a prize we don't deserve And live to collect it Can't you see I'm weary Maybe this news can wait The night of a thousand verses One thousand strivers strain to hear A voice that's left us And the magazines still have to sell us Twelve mastergeniuses a year It's all so shameless Can't you see I'm weary Maybe this news can wait Can't you see I'm blurry Maybe this news can wait Maybe there was a message in it I don't know where you hid it Maybe there was a piece that will fit I don't know how to fit it Tell me what kind of prize can you get Where you don't want to win it Maybe there was a message in it I don't know where you hid it Maybe there was a piece that will fit I don't know how to fit it Tell me what kind of prize can you get Where you don't want to win it Can't you see I'm weary Maybe this news can wait Can't you see I'm blurry Maybe this blues can wait
