Karaoke Night

(Ooh-oh Oh-oh)
(Ooh-oh Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-oh Oh-oh)
(Ooh-oh Ooh-ooh)

Fluorescent lights and padded walls
One-man stage as evening falls
Outside I’m quiet, suit and ties
But in here, I cut the ties
Mic in hand, I close my eyes
No one here to sympathize

Karaoke night, I sing alone
My voice, the only thing I own
Scream the words I never say
Tears in songs I hide all day
In this booth, I come alive
This is my karaoke night

(Ooh-oh Oh-oh)
(Ooh-oh Ooh-oh-oh)

Work was hell, like every day
Smiled through things I couldn’t say
All day long I wear the mask
Hold the front, complete the task
I bow, I nod, I play the game
But here, I sing without the shame

Karaoke night, I sing alone
My voice, the only thing I own
Scream the words I never say
Tears in songs I hide all day
In this booth, I come alive
This is my karaoke night

Karaoke night, I sing alone
My voice, the only thing I own
Scream the words I never say
Tears in songs I hide all day
In this booth, I come alive
This is my karaoke night
