Whiskey glass in my hand
Neon lights they understand
Lonely hearts in the band
Playing tunes of the damned
Smoke drifts freely through the air
Words fall soft, no weight to bear
No concerns, no need to care
Dreams will fade with all the wear
Last call, turn the lights down low
Life gives chances, heed the call
Onto streets where winds do blow
And the darker shadows grow
The clock still ticks, the night won't stall
Life has chances, heed the call
For every path that opens wide
There comes a time to step aside
The book of life has just its cover
Still many pages to discover
The story waits for a new lover
With secrets waiting to uncover
Empty stools and shattered dreams
Life's not always what it seems
In this bar, we chase the gleam
Of forgotten summer schemes
Last call, turn the lights down low
Life gives chances, heed the call
Onto streets where winds do blow
And the darker shadows grow
Take your shot, don't wait too long
The lights will fade, the crowd moves on
We often rise, and sometimes fall
One day you'll note, it's your last call!
The night moves on, the silence calls
Footsteps echo down empty halls
No more drinks, no more refrain
Just the memory of the pain
As shadows stretch and voices fade
We face the choices that we've made
With every step, we lose it all
Till we reach that final call
