Audience Lyrics
Sunday nights that you want her
Like velvet cake
Sweet heart can bargain
Half price mistakes
She will go down with her ship
Like a good captain
You're sitting on the dock
Playing for an audience of one
Pacing your apartment
Linoleum floors
Get a call from an old friend
She never liked them before
He will drive all over three lanes
You sit tight, shotgun
Windshield wipers
Waving for an audience of one
You came out from the country
Wearing momma's clothes
You were born in the city
Daddy's dominos
You need a record you can move to
Well we got one
Drop the needle
We are playing for an audience of one
Drop the needle
We are playing for an audience of one
One gets all of you
Two's jealous
Three gets even less
Four divides you up then you're left
Pleasing all your guests
Reach out your pointer finger
And touch the globe
Spin around and where it stops
You've got to pack your bags and go
Land in the Mohave Desert
Sing for the sun
Three's too many when you're playing for an audience of one
Two's too busy when you're playing for an audience of one
One is the only way you're playing for an audience of one
Like velvet cake
Sweet heart can bargain
Half price mistakes
Like a good captain
You're sitting on the dock
Playing for an audience of one
Linoleum floors
Get a call from an old friend
She never liked them before
You sit tight, shotgun
Windshield wipers
Waving for an audience of one
Wearing momma's clothes
You were born in the city
Daddy's dominos
Well we got one
Drop the needle
We are playing for an audience of one
We are playing for an audience of one
Two's jealous
Three gets even less
Four divides you up then you're left
Pleasing all your guests
And touch the globe
Spin around and where it stops
You've got to pack your bags and go
Sing for the sun
Two's too busy when you're playing for an audience of one
One is the only way you're playing for an audience of one

It is so easy to listen to this song and want to dance. My favorite line is "sunday nights you want her like velvet cake" The allusion to craving someone is just... genius.
The lack of responses is very odd to me. Do people not realize how good CWK's are??? Dang. Anyhow, wasnt big on this song at first, but it really grows on you.....much like how you have to watch movies more than once to REALLY like them.
it's not when she rifles it's WINDSHIELD WIPERS!!
My current favorite song. To me, it's about disregarding what others might think about things, because in the end, all that matters is yourself, and how you feel about things.
Sunday nights that you want her like velvet cake Sweet heart can bargain half price mistakes She will go down with her ship like a good captain You're sitting on the dock playing for an audience of one
Pacing your apartment's linoleum floors Get a call from an old friend she never liked him before He will drive all over three lanes while you ride shotgun Windshield wipers waving for an audience of one
You came out from the country wearing mamas clothes You were born in the city with daddy's domino's You need a record you can move to Well we got one Drop the needle, we are playing for an audience of one Drop the needle, we are playing for an audience of one
One gets all of you two's jealous Three gets even less Four divides you up, then you're left Pleasing all your guests
Close your eyes put your finger on the globe Spin it round and where it stops you got to pack your bags and go Land in the Mojave desert, well you got sun Three's too many when you're playing for an audience of one Two's too busy when you're playing for an audience of one One is the only when you're playing for an audience of one
straight from the album booklet itself. I know it sounds like he sings other bits different, but this is what was written

straight from teh album booklet
I think the only part that's sung differently than the lyrics in the booklet is after the Mojave desert - sounds to me too like "sing for the sun"
I dig this tune. I first heard it after buying the album, playing it in my car on the way home, windows down on one of the first mild days of the year, deep blue evening sky and streetlights gliding by, moon high above - I was their audience of one, and the world seemed right just then.
I second that feeling
I second that feeling
these guys are amazingggg i got to see them for free in san jose last week and they played this. i hadn't heard it before (i know i can't believe i forgot to get their new ep) anyways this sounds liek nothing i've heard before it's just sooo good. don't really get what he's singing about though?
i think she could be pregnant there for the baby is her auidience of one... i got this from where she is not drinking the wine or coffee..... i dunno??
Well the more that I've listened to it, I am starting to think he is talking about having sex. When you're sleeping with someone, they are your audience of one. I don't know the song just sounds so... sexy and I think this could be why. Just a thought, folks!
