Gather ‘round all And let us tell the tale Of an ill-fated night That was destined to fail Dressed in traditional garb A suit and a tie He left that night And let out a sigh Not wanting to go, But with a promise to fulfill He would be there Even if him it would **** He did it for her ‘Twas his only goal But secretly he knew It was also in hopes of feeling whole And so he entered With hopeful eyes But what came next Was to his surprise The girl he looked for She was not there Instead she was replaced With something he couldn’t bear It was her alright, But intoxicated The night was for naught And all hope faded He goes on now, Living, but broken-hearted He loved her once But it’s long departed

The Ballad of the Ball
Gather ‘round all And let us tell the tale Of an ill-fated night That was destined to fail Dressed in traditional garb A suit and a tie He left that night And let out a sigh Not wanting to go, But with a promise to fulfill He would be there Even if him it would **** He did it for her ‘Twas his only goal But secretly he knew It was also in hopes of feeling whole And so he entered With hopeful eyes But what came next Was to his surprise The girl he looked for She was not there Instead she was replaced With something he couldn’t bear It was her alright, But intoxicated The night was for naught And all hope faded He goes on now, Living, but broken-hearted He loved her once But it’s long departed
