The Prize

The night of a thousand verses
One thousand friends said have you heard
What we expectedWe are all working late and
Waiting to win a prize we don't deserve
And live to collect itCan't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can waitThe night of a thousand verses
One thousand strivers strain to hear
A voice that's left usAnd the magazines still have to sell us
Twelve mastergeniuses a year
It's all so shamelessCan't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can waitCan't you see I'm blurry
Maybe this news can waitMaybe 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 where to fit itTell 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 waitCan't you see I'm blurry
Maybe this blues can wait
