Steven's Last Night in Town (demo 1996) Songtext
von Ben Folds

Everyone gather ′round now, sing us a song
Just in case by tomorrow it happens he is gone
For two weeks and seven days, our fair foreign friend
I have this feeling we might never see Steven again

But we thought he was gone and now he's come back again
Last week it was funny and now the joke′s wearing thin
'Cause everyone knows now
That every night now will be Steven's last night in town


He′s charmed everyone here
Except Tamara Easter who later revealed to him her innermost secrets
Won us over with stories about Linda McCartney
Lost points with the ladies for saying he couldn′t love a woman with cellulite

But we thought he was gone and now he's come back again
Last week it was funny and now the joke′s wearing thin
'Cause everyone knows now
That every night now will be Steven′s last night in town

We were talking 'bout something, seems like was funny
And then Steven got quiet, I think Steven was mad
Maybe he wasn′t mad but we felt very strange
In the moment but the moment was passed and forgotten about


We thought he was gone but he's come back again
Last week it was funny and now the joke's wearing thin
′Cause everyone knows now
That every night now will be Steven′s last night in town
