Kick It In Second Wind Lyrics

One o'clock in the morning,
People piling into the door.
Drinks are still coming in and
I'm barely humming and the
Audience is screaming for more.
Somebody's locked in the bathroom,
Manager can't find the key.
I pity that man but from where I stand,
It's looking like a prisoner is me.

[Chorus:]

So won't you kick it in second wind
We got two more hours to go.
Losing any more hope of scoring anymore coke,
And we've still got to do another show.

My mind started to wander,
In the middle of the second song
Dreaming I was at sea, just my baby and me
When the words started coming out wrong.
Waitresses are picking up glasses,
The bartender screamed last call.
When I looked to my right I saw a terrible sight
As the bass man took a bad fall.

It's three o'clock in the morning,
Running on adrenalin.
What I'm trying to say is that tomorrow's today
And we've got to do it over again.

what a perfect song for exam week, when all you want to do is see the ocean again and you have only so much more to do.

A few updates (in CAPS) for apparent lyrics mis-hearings. Not sure how to get those updated, but just for the record…

I PITY that man but from where I stand, It's looking like THE prisoner is me

LOSING any more hope of scoring anymore coke

What I'm trying to say is that tomorrow's TODAY (e.g., when they started it was Fri and tmrw was Sat…at the end Sat is now today)
