It was an early night – 1:00 AM early. The police passed by For the bigger problems And the clubs roared A little louder than usual. Loud and aloud while I danced And danced The Saturday night stumble – To the left, to the right And twice back, Destination: Home. I continued too tripped, Or ripped, To have a friend, A little lonely, But feeling a little famous All the same and all the while. I strode with swagger, Head held a little higher than usual, Made my way home, slept And started over tomorrow, Or was it the day after; the, “numb,” Could be such a nimble little feat. It’s a good thing that a cold beer’s Always just around the corner, So to, the stumble may begin once more, And the tip-tap, tip-tap, Stammer, side-step, fall will Lead me once more unto rest – Fallen and without dreams.

Saturday's Swagger
It was an early night – 1:00 AM early. The police passed by For the bigger problems And the clubs roared A little louder than usual. Loud and aloud while I danced And danced The Saturday night stumble – To the left, to the right And twice back, Destination: Home. I continued too tripped, Or ripped, To have a friend, A little lonely, But feeling a little famous All the same and all the while. I strode with swagger, Head held a little higher than usual, Made my way home, slept And started over tomorrow, Or was it the day after; the, “numb,” Could be such a nimble little feat. It’s a good thing that a cold beer’s Always just around the corner, So to, the stumble may begin once more, And the tip-tap, tip-tap, Stammer, side-step, fall will Lead me once more unto rest – Fallen and without dreams.
* Published in something, but I don't remember and to be frank, still too obsessed with that little something labeled, "numb."
