The Last Call

When the all had folks around
There were nun
But these habits I had found
Could be great fun
Well it takes class to raise them proud
My girl and son
And now your sorrows have been drowned
And now the chords are wrong

When I took a fall where were you all?
I could've shown them
But I don't seem dear to my friends
They all said before "it could be the last call"
I should've known then
But it all comes clear in the end

Award the riches and take a bow
Do I pay?
A silver plaque if I'm allowed
Then come and take gold
You build me up, you knock me down
I pave the way
Smile till we're alone

When I took a fall where were you all?
I could've shown them
But I don't seem dear to my friends
They all said before "it could be the last call"
I should've known then
But I won't be here till the end

And so you chase me out of town
Now I'm here
You steal the stones that built my house
To reveal all
And when it all comes crashing down
Around my ears
I will be at home
