I open the door
Slowly....
Take one step in
And see...
This place is just not meant for me

I walked inside
Picked out a stool
Sat at a stool
And ordered a coke
They look at me like I'm a joke

Them, with their beers in hand
Laughing gleefully
Of how they drank and drove
And went to jail
For DUI like it was a joke

No seriousness in it at all
I don't understand
Why do they want to fall

This is not a place I want to be
But their stories intrigued me
And yet they don't want sympathy
They talked of one night stands
And how one left the wife
And how a wife left a husband
Just to have pleasure for one night

They drown their sorrows
With refills like there is no tomorrow
Their breath smells and reeks
This is a place I don't seek
But this is life
With it comes strife
And this is how people spend
Times to mend
If not to their end

I will take my leave
If you please
This place is just not meant for me
I don't want to drown in sorrow
I want another tomorrow

So to you I bid adieu
Good luck to all of you
And hope you will be true
If not for others then for you
